Tarragon is a bushy perennial with narrow green leaves and small green-white flowers in July and August. It is one of the subtlest of herbs, going well with foods of delicate flavour.

Perennial bushy herb belonging to the daisy family, native to the Old World. It grows up to 1.5 m/5 ft tall and has narrow leaves and small green-white flower heads arranged in groups. Tarragon contains an aromatic oil; its leaves are used to flavour salads, pickles, and tartar sauce. It is closely related to wormwood. (Artemisia dracunculus, family Compositae.)
