How to Plant Tarragon from Seed

When to Plant Seeds

  • Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date.
  • Direct sow outdoors after the last frost when soil temperatures reach 60°F (16°C).

Preparing for Planting

  1. Choose a location with full sun and well-draining soil.
  2. If planting in containers, use a pot with drainage holes to prevent waterlogging.

Sowing Seeds Indoors

  1. Fill seed trays with light, well-draining potting mix.
  2. Scatter seeds on the surface—do not bury deeply as they need light to germinate.
  3. Mist lightly with water and cover with a plastic dome or humidity cover.
  4. Maintain a temperature of 65-75°F (18-24°C) for germination.
  5. Seeds should sprout in 10-14 days.

Transplanting Outdoors

  1. Harden off seedlings by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions over a week.
  2. Space plants 12-18 inches apart to allow airflow and prevent disease.
  3. Water lightly after transplanting and mulch to retain moisture.

Pro Tip

Tarragon thrives in well-draining soil and loves a little neglect—avoid overwatering for the best flavor. Regularly trim the stems to encourage bushy growth, and harvest in the morning for the most aromatic leaves.

Bonus: Divide the plant every few years to keep it thriving!
