Artemisia dracunculus var. inodora
Artemisia dracunculus var. inodora, commonly known as French tarragon, is a perennial herb belonging to the Asteraceae family. It is characterized by its slender, upright growth and narrow, lance-shaped leaves that are aromatic. This variety is often used in culinary applications for its distinct flavor, which is milder than that of its more pungent counterpart, Russian tarragon.
This plant thrives in well-drained soil and prefers full sun to partial shade. It is typically grown in gardens and can be propagated through cuttings or division. As a hardy herb, it is also valued for its ornamental qualities, adding greenery to landscapes while attracting beneficial insects.
