1. Plant French Tarragon in well-drained soil in full sun and water regularly.
General Growing Tips For Your Rooted Cutting Liner
For best results with French Tarragon, use a constant feed program of 150-200 ppm N on well rooted plants. A pH between 5.8 and 6.2 is important for the healthiest plant color. In most cases, an additional supplement of iron is recommended in order to deepen the coloration of the foliage.
Pinching
We recommend that you pinch French Tarragon 5-10 days after transplanting to your final container. Growing herbs at cooler temperatures will help to keep the plants short and bushy.
Spacing
Space 4-inch, 6-inch, and gallon pots as needed to allow airflow and penetration of light between plants. French Tarragon can grow to a 14" spread. We do not recommend planting French Tarragon in 1801 or other traditional market trays as plants tend to get leggy and develop fungus problems with insufficient space.
Height Control
We do not recommend using chemical growth regulators on herbs.
Pests
You may see whiteflies, aphids, or mealybugs.
Disease
French Tarragon is not prone to disease; don't oversaturate the soil. If the plant sits in moist soil for a long time, you could end up with root rot, botrytis, or a bacterial blight. Botrytis grey rot is usually associated with wet or humid conditions. You can prevent botrytis by allowing the plant to dry out between waterings, providing good airflow in your greenhouse, and spacing containers to allow the sun to penetrate to the soil level. To best fight root rot in herbs, look for an organic or garden-safe fungicide like Neem Oil.
Planting French Tarragon Liners
Plant one rooted plug per 4-inch container. For larger containers, plant three rooted liners per container. Use well-drained soil and completely bury the ellepot in the center or equally spaced in your container.
Pinch once, 5-10 days after transplanting. You may need to pinch a second time, depending on the size and shape of the finished container.
Rooted Cuttings
Cuttings vary in size between different plant families. These rooted starter plants will arrive ready to be transplanted in to your final container. If they are to be used in a landscape application, you will need to establish them in a 4 inch pot or an 1801 before planting outside.

Before we take this relationship any further...
It looks like this is the first time you've added anything to your cart.
We just wanted to remind you that we are a wholesale starter plant company that sells to businesses, schools, clubs, and other non-profits. State law dictates that you must be growing for resale to order from us since we are not collecting sales tax.
If we aren't a match, we understand. It's not you, it's us.
We would look awful in orange jumpsuits.
