Commonly Asked Questions
Will tarragon survive winter UK?
French tarragon is not fully hardy and can be killed by cold, wet British winters. It is best grown in a container so it can be brought into a frost-free greenhouse or similar over winter.
Where is the best place to plant tarragon?
Tarragon needs a sunny, warm, and sheltered position to do well and produce strongly flavoured leaves. French tarragon especially thrives in well-drained, light, sandy soils that are low in nutrients.
What is the best month to plant tarragon?
Begin tarragon seeds indoors in April, sowing four to six seeds per pot in moist, composted potting soil. Once seedlings sprout a few inches, thin them to one seedling per pot. Note that French tarragon is typically grown from division, stem cuttings, or layering rather than seeds.
Is a tarragon plant a perennial?
Tarragon is a perennial herb in zones 4 and warmer. It grows into a bushy, somewhat leggy plant approximately 18-36 inches tall. Culinary tarragon belongs to the Artemisia family, known for its liquorice flavour.
Does tarragon come back?
Tarragon is a perennial herb, meaning it will die back in winter but return again in spring. If your winters stay above -10 degrees, you can plant your tarragon once and watch it regrow every spring. In especially cold winters, you may need to replant it annually.
