Growing Tips

Plant in a sunny, well-drained position. French tarragon prefers lighter soils and does not tolerate wet feet.

Water moderately and allow soil to dry slightly between watering. Trim regularly to encourage fresh, tender growth.

In cooler climates, plants may die back in winter and re-shoot in spring.
