FRENCH TARRAGON – Artemisia dracunculus

Although a little more tricky to grow, French tarragon is a must for any culinary enthusiasts, and those who particularly love French cuisine.

With its aromatic, sweet anise scent and liquorice flavour, French tarragon is considered the finest variety of tarragon in the kitchen. It is particularly delicious when paired with chicken, and can also be used to flavour vinegars and oils, as well as make a béarnaise sauce.

How to grow...

• A particularly robust herb, fennel will grow well in any garden soil, providing it is placed in a sunny spot.
