Russian Tarragon is a flavorful herb that is used to season fish, chicken, eggs, sauces, and salads. Russian Tarragon has a spicy characteristic with anise-like qualities. Russian Tarragon is much hardier and grows more readily than French Tarragon. Russian Tarragon grows up to 5 feet tall and has long, slender, lance-shaped leaves growing out from a branching stem. Russian Tarragon has often been used medicinally and is a good source of potassium and beta-carotene.
