Anbautipps

Tarragon can be sown directly or grown in seed trays. It is a light germinator, so the seeds should be lightly covered with soil at most. It thrives best in humus-rich, moist soil. Regular weed control is necessary, as tarragon is sensitive to weed pressure. German and French tarragon are propagated by cuttings, while Russian tarragon is propagated by seed. Throughout the summer, the tips of shoots can be harvested, this prevents flowering. In the first year of cultivation can be harvested continuously the tips of shoots, and from the second year of cultivation - the complete stems. Tarragon should always be kept moist in the root zone.
