Winter tarragon is a herb, which originates in Mexico and has long pointed and very aromatic leaves. The taste is very similar to French tarragon with a strong anise-like scent. The plant is not winter hardy but can be overwintered with protection.
Recommended alternative for Russian Tarragon, Artemisia dracunculus [K51], which has been discontinued from our range.
