I cannot grow French

Interesting. My French Tarragon is as tough as old boots and I grow
it in what I'd consider to be heavy soil.

The summer rain might be a problem too.

Could be. I tend to let my tarragon get quite dry before I notice that
it's gagging for a drink - dunno why it thrives given how badly I treat
my poor clumps.

Most of the artemisias I've grown have been survivors.

Our French Tarragon has been in the garden for 30+ years (Zone 5, sandy soil).
