{"product_id":"tarragon-seeds","title":"Tarragon Seeds","description":"\u003cp\u003eTarragon seeds grow into Russian tarragon (\u003cem\u003eArtemisia dracunculoides\u003c\/em\u003e), a hardy perennial herb prized for its slender, anise-scented leaves. Because true French tarragon does not set viable seed, tarragon grown from seed is always the Russian type — vigorous, cold-tolerant, and generous with foliage you can snip all season. It forms an airy, upright clump of narrow green leaves that bring a gentle licorice note to the kitchen garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho it's for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis one suits home cooks who want a steady supply of fresh tarragon for the kitchen, and gardeners looking for a low-maintenance perennial herb that returns year after year in colder climates.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow \u0026amp; when to plant\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eStart seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before your last frost, or sow directly once the soil has warmed. Surface-sow and press the tiny seeds lightly into the mix, barely covering them, as they need some light to germinate. Keep at 60–70°F and expect germination in 10–21 days. Space plants 18–24 inches apart in full sun and well-drained soil. Russian tarragon is hardy in USDA zones 4–9 and returns each spring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHarvest\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLeaves are ready to pick roughly 80–90 days from sowing, once plants are established. Snip sprigs from the outer stems as needed, taking no more than a third of the plant at a time so it keeps producing. Flavor is mildest on young growth, so harvest often through the growing season and cut plants back after flowering to encourage tender new leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBenefits \u0026amp; uses\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFresh tarragon adds a light anise flavor to chicken, fish, eggs, and creamy sauces, and is a classic partner in béarnaise and fines herbes blends. Steep sprigs in vinegar for a homemade tarragon vinegar, or freeze chopped leaves in oil for winter cooking. In the garden its fine foliage and small summer flowers make an easy, drought-tolerant addition to herb beds and borders.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Organo Republic","offers":[{"title":"0.05G","offer_id":45320368455887,"sku":"ORIHTA_05_57","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"0.15G","offer_id":45320368488655,"sku":"ORIHTA_05_58","price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0580\/6437\/1919\/files\/Tarragon-Seeds-Organo-Republic-266970951.png?v=1783463463","url":"https:\/\/organorepublic.com\/products\/tarragon-seeds","provider":"Organo Republic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
