Tarragon Russian
Artemisia dracunculoides
Russian Tarragon is a perennial herb that has a more mild, slightly bitter flavour when compared to French tarragon.
Harvest tarragon as needed throughout the growing season, but do not remove more than 1/3 of the foliage at a time. This ensures the plant has enough energy to keep growing. The leaves have the best flavour before flowering.
Russian Tarragon grows best in full sun with average, well-drained soils. Allow the top few inches of soil to dry out before watering again, tarragon dislikes heavy, waterlogged soil and will not survive the winter if the ground is too wet.
Seasonal Availability: Typically available April through June, depending on suppliers availability.

If it is planted in a pot, it should have a drainage hole to reduce the likelihood of root rot caused by water accumulating in the bottom of the pot.
Increase watering in the heat of summer and watch for wilting or browning as signs to increase watering frequency.
