PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS INCLUDED WITH EVERY ORDER! Tarragon (Artemisia dracunculoides) - 300 Seeds Description:Known as Little Dragon, this perennial grows from Tarragon seeds and it thrives in hot, barren soils. Tarragon Little Dragon is a tough herb plant. It is native to northwestern United States, Russia and Asia, and it is closely related to sagebrush. It is both a medicinal herb as well as a popular culinary herb and garnish. Tarragon plants can reach 60 inches in height, and they have thin, blade-like leaves that are wonderfully aromatic with a sweet anise-like flavor. In late summer, Tarragon produces white, rather droopy flowers. Tarragon is highly used in French cooking. It flavors vinegar, fish, meats, vegetables, cheese and sauces. The leaves can be used in cooking both fresh and dried. Medically, Tarragon herb is used in teas to stimulate digestion and ease intestinal distension. Medicinal Properties:While tarragon is most commonly used for cooking, some manufacturers use tarragon to add scent to soap and cosmetics. It can also be used for medicinal purposes. French tarragon, also known as Estragon, is sometimes used to treat digestive disorders or toothaches. Some use it to reduce water weight or stimulate the appetite. It is also sometimes used by women to promote menstruation. But there is no strong evidence to support the use of tarragon for any of these benefits. Tarragon may have potential as an anti-nausea treatment after surgery. One clinical trial demonstrated that people treated with an herbal combination that included tarragon were less likely to experience nausea and vomiting after surgery. But it is unclear whether tarragon alone can provide this benefit. Researchers are also conducting studies to see if Russian tarragon may help in the prevention or management of diabetes. Preliminary studies are also investigating the role that Russian tarragon may have on exercise performance. Planting Instructions:It is recommended to start Tarragon seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the last frost. Press the herb seeds into the soil and lightly cover with soil. Transplant the young herb plants outdoors after temperatures warm up. Tarragon herb plants prefer sunshine and sharply draining soils that are sandy or rocky. Once established, Tarragon plants require little care. Keep the soil on the dry side.
