Tarragon, Mexican

Short Description

Mexican tarragon stands up to the heat of summer.

Full Description

An essential herb for French cuisine, tarragon adds flavor and depth to sauces, salads, eggs, soups, fish and poultry dishes—and is the sine qua non for béarnaise sauce. Mexican tarragon stands up to the heat of summer. Narrow, tapering, aromatic, green leaves impart a prismatic blend of hints of licorice, anise, and vanilla. Upright, bushy 24" plants offer up their tantalizing leaves beginning in early spring; come late summer, clusters of tiny, pale golden flowers appear. One of the finest herbs, tarragon gives any dish a delectable French accent.
