How to Grow Tarragon:

Tarragon thrives  in dry conditions and poor soils. They prefer dry, rocky or gravel or sandy soil. They need full sun. The plant needs a warm, dry weather, day and night.

Tarragon is most commonly grown from division of the roots. You can also propagate it by rooting small, vigorous cuttings in the spring.

It is also grown from seed. Seeds can be sown directly in the garden. We recommend an indoor start six to eight weeks before the last frost. Transplant seedlings outdoors when the weather warms, spacing them 1 1/2 to 2 feet apart.

Established plants will grow well with little care.  Keep the soil slightly dry.
