Tarragon 'Spanish' (Artemisia dracunculus var. sativa) is a fragrant perennial herb prized for its aromatic, slightly sweet leaves. Unlike French tarragon, Spanish tarragon is hardier and more vigorous, making it an excellent choice for home gardens. The plant typically grows to 24–36 inches in height with a spread of 18–24 inches, producing slender, lance-shaped green leaves that retain their flavor throughout the growing season. Hardy in USDA zones 4–9, it thrives in full sun with well-drained soil and requires minimal maintenance once established.

This versatile herb is a culinary favorite, perfect for flavoring sauces, salads, chicken, and seafood dishes. Its anise-like aroma enhances vinaigrettes, soups, and marinades, offering a fresh, slightly licorice taste. Beyond the kitchen, Tarragon 'Spanish' can be used in herbal teas and as a fragrant companion plant in herb gardens. Its robust growth and ornamental appearance also make it an attractive addition to perennial borders or container gardens, combining both beauty and utility in one hardy, flavorful plant.
