Tarragon

Full Sun: 6 hours of direct sunlight each day.

Partial Sun: 3 to 6 hours of direct sunlight each day.

Moderate watering: Water on average 2 times each week. Keep the soil moist.
 

Parts Used: Fresh leaves

Uses: It can be used to cook fish, poultry and egg dishes. It excels in marinades for meat and game. It is also used to flavour goat’s cheese. It gives a herbal fragrance to mushrooms and other vegetables. Together with tomato, it acts almost as well as basil.

It has a liqourish smell but tastes like spicy anise and has a basil aftertaste which is sweet.

Drying the stalks of leaves will cause this herb to lose its flavour so it is better to use the leaves fresh by growing your own. Tarragon requires soil rich in nutrients that has good drainage. It is better to place it under full sun as well.
