Tarragon, Russian
Artemesia dracunculoides
Not to be confused with French Tarragon, Russian Tarragon is slightly inferior as a culinary herb. So why offer it? It's the only Tarragon which can be grown from seed. The French variety can only be grown from cuttings. The flavor is also known to improve with maturity. Use tarragon in herbal vinegars, salad dressings and sauces.
Interesting Notes
Tarragon is an insect repellant.
