Russian Tarragon Herb Seeds for Fresh Aromatic Leaves
Russian Tarragon Herb Seeds grow into vigorous perennial herbs with narrow green leaves and a mild aromatic flavour with subtle anise and liquorice notes. Russian Tarragon is a hardy, productive herb suited to garden beds, larger containers and sunny herb gardens.
Use freshly harvested leaves with fish, poultry, eggs, potatoes, vegetables, soups, sauces, salads and savoury dishes. The flavour is milder than French Tarragon, making Russian Tarragon useful where a gentler tarragon character is preferred.
Russian Tarragon vs French Tarragon
Russian Tarragon is grown readily from seed and develops into a vigorous perennial plant. Its flavour is generally milder and less intense than French Tarragon, which is traditionally prized for its stronger culinary aroma but is normally propagated vegetatively rather than from seed.
For customers wanting to grow tarragon directly from seed, Russian Tarragon provides a practical and hardy option for the home herb garden.
Hardy Perennial for Garden Beds & Containers
Russian Tarragon develops into a tall, branching perennial herb and can return for multiple growing seasons once established. Plants perform best in full sun to partial shade with moist but freely draining soil.
Allow approximately 50cm between plants so established plants have room to branch and develop. Russian Tarragon can become a substantial herb, so larger containers are preferable where it is not being grown directly in the garden.
Best Started as Seedlings
For reliable establishment, sow the seed shallowly in trays or small pots and transplant seedlings once they are strong enough to handle. Sow approximately 1mm deep and maintain consistent moisture without waterlogging the growing medium.
Under suitable conditions, germination generally occurs in approximately 10–14 days at around 15–20°C.
Harvest Fresh Tarragon Through the Growing Season
Russian Tarragon is generally ready for useful harvesting from approximately 90–110 days after sowing. Harvest outer leaves and tender stems as required while leaving enough healthy foliage for continued growth.
Fresh leaves can be used immediately or dried for later use in soups, sauces, vegetable dishes, fish, poultry and other savoury cooking.
