Tarragon (Artemisia dracunculus) is a flavorful herb valued for its aromatic leaves, which have a distinctive, slightly sweet anise-like flavor. It is a staple in French cuisine, commonly used in sauces, marinades, salads, and as a seasoning for poultry and fish. Tarragon grows as a bushy plant with slender, green leaves and thrives in well-drained soil, making it an excellent addition to herb gardens, containers, or mixed borders.
