Russian Tarragon Herb Seeds for Planting – Heirloom & Non-GMO Seeds for Culinary and Medicinal Herb Gardens

Planting and Growing Instructions:

1. When to Plant:

• Start indoors 6–8 weeks before last frost, or direct sow outdoors after frost has passed.

• Plant in early spring or late summer in mild climates.

2. How to Sow:

• Sow seeds ¼ inch deep in well-draining soil.

• Germination takes 7–14 days at 65–75°F (18–24°C).

• Thin or transplant seedlings 12–18 inches apart.

3. Growing Tips:

• Prefers full sun and poor, sandy soil—too much fertility weakens flavor.

• Tolerates drought once established.

• Cut back stems regularly to encourage bushy growth.

• Can be divided every few years to maintain vigor.

4. Culinary & Herbal Uses:

• Use leaves in salads, sauces, poultry, and vinegars.

• Often used in herbal teas and traditional remedies for digestion.

• Less pungent than French tarragon but excellent for fresh garden-to-table use.
