Tarragon (Artemisia dracunculus) is a perennial herb, a member of the daisy family (Asteraceae) and a close relative of Wormwood.
Tarragon has a spicy flavor reminiscent of anise. French tarragon is the variety generally considered best for the kitchen. It cannot be grown from seed. Russian tarragon can be grown from seed but is much weaker in flavor.
