Artemisia dracunculus aka Tarragon

Artemisia dracunculus, commonly known as tarragon or estragon, is a perennial herb in the Asteraceae family. It is found in the wild across much of Eurasia and North America and is cultivated for both culinary and medicinal purposes. French tarragon, a subspecies of Artemisia dracunculus, is the most commonly used for cooking due to its aromatic leaves. Other subspecies include Russian tarragon and wild tarragon, which have less flavor and aroma than French tarragon. Tarragon can grow up to 150 cm tall with slender branches and lanceolate leaves that are glossy green and have an entire margin. The flowers are produced in small capitula, with up to 40 yellow or greenish-yellow florets, although French tarragon seldom produces flowers or seeds. Some tarragon plants produce sterile seeds while others produce viable seeds. Tarragon has rhizomatous roots that allow it to spread and reproduce easily. False Tarragon, a houseplant belonging to the Artemisia genus, is native to Temperate Europe and Asia and Western-central North America. It is a rare plant that is not difficult to grow, thriving with regular watering and well-draining soil. False Tarragon does best in direct light and should be less than 1 foot from a window. If it is repotted each time it doubles in size, it should not require added fertilizers.
