What Makes Survival Garden Seeds Different - non-GMO heirloom seeds

Russian Tarragon Seeds from Survival Garden Seeds produce a vigorous perennial herb valued for its ornamental form, resilience, and mild anise-like flavor. Unlike French tarragon, which cannot be grown from seed, Russian tarragon is easy to establish and maintain, making it a practical choice for home gardeners. Plants develop woody stems and narrow, blade-like leaves, reaching approximately 40 inches tall and adding vertical interest to herb and ornamental gardens.

Hardy, Ornamental, and Productive:

  • Vigorous perennial herb with upright, woody growth
  • Reaches about 40 inches in height at maturity
  • Thin, blade-like leaves add texture and visual interest
  • Suitable for herb gardens, borders, and mixed plantings

Mild Flavor for Fresh Use:

  • Light anise flavor, milder than French tarragon
  • Best used fresh to enjoy its subtle taste
  • Useful for everyday cooking and herb blends
  • Easy-to-grow alternative to French tarragon

Why Customers Love Russian Tarragon Seeds:

  • Grows readily from seed with minimal effort
  • Hardy perennial suitable for many garden settings
  • Attractive ornamental herb with culinary value
  • Taller growth adds structure to herb beds
  • Reliable choice for gardeners wanting tarragon flavor without propagation challenges

How to Use / How to Grow:
Sow Russian tarragon seeds in full sun with well-drained soil. Seeds can be started indoors or sown directly outdoors after the danger of frost has passed. Keep soil lightly moist during germination. Once established, plants require minimal care. Harvest young leaves as needed and use fresh for the best flavor.
