Prezentare

Artemisia dracunculus, cunoscută sub numele de tarragon, aparține familiei Asteraceae și este originară din zonele care spană de la Europa până în Asia și America de Nord. Această plantă perenială se dezvoltă în zonă plină de soare sau parte a umbrei, adaptându-se bine la diverse tipuri de suoli, de la ușoar (sandy) până în mediu, dar preferă condițiile seci și umide. Durabilă în zonele 5-8, tarragon poate crește până la o înălțime de 0,6 m cu o extindere de 60 cm când este spaiat corect. Cunoscut pentru utilizările culinare sale, este cultivat larg pentru fructele și scufundarul săi aromatic, folosiți adesea în cina franceză. Rangul nativ al sa include Afghanistan, Alberta, Altay, Amur și Arizona, fiind adaptabil la diverse climaturi.
