Tarragon is a perennial herb which is closely related to sagebrush. This means tarragon thrives in poor, dry, barren soils in areas with warm days and nights. Tarragon grows to 4 to 5 feet tall. The aromatic leaves are thin and blade-like, with a pointed tip. Tarragon leaves have a strong, rather sweet anise-like flavor and are used in many foods; particularly, fish dishes. The leaves are used fresh, dried, and frozen.
