Russian Tarragon Plant

Artemisia dracunculus Russian

Whilst the flavour is not so pronounced as the French variety it proves to be much hardier. This highly prized herb is blended into Hollandaise, Tartar and Béarnaise Sauce. A few leaves shredded into scrambled egg raise this simple dish to a new level. Leaves are rich in essential Iodine, Vitamins A and C as well as trace elements and beneficial mineral salts. In time gone by chewing the root of Tarragon was claimed to cure toothache.

Supplied as a pot grown plant grown in a 7cm pot.
