Tarragon Oil
Tarragon oil.....This plant is a perennial herb that’s related to wormwood. It’s also called Dragon’s-Wort or Dragon Herb. Artemisia dracunculus is Russian tarragon. It’s a much more hardy plant as compared to the French tarragon. The Russian species can be grown from seed but the French can’t. The French is generally considered the best for culinary use.
