Tarragon Russian

The hardy tarragon that thrives where French tarragon fails. Russian Tarragon produces vigorous, upright stems with a mild anise flavour that is outstanding for tarragon vinegar, herb butters, and chicken dishes — and unlike French tarragon, it can be grown reliably from seed and survives the British winter without protection. Approximately 300 seeds per packet.
