Ok, I only half-know a litl bit about this...

There are several types of tarragon, Russian,. French, German. The ONLY kind
that has big flavor is the kind that can NOT be grwon from seeds, but is
multiplied by tearing existing plants into smaller plants. So you'd have to
find a source for such a plant. I am afraid I don't what kind that kind is
called, I am tending towards French.

Once established, it is supossed to grwo madly. So grow it in a container.

I made the mistake of byuing seeds this year Am a beginner, but learning.
