Tarragon - does it regrow from roots?
Sarah Dale3/5/04 10:01
Hi All, I had a couple of tarragons in pots last year, and left them outside over winter. They looked very dead this spring, but I noticed this weekend, that one is showing signs of regrowth on top of the original roots, and in the larger pot I have what looks like a baby tarragon plant about 6 inches from where the original was. Do they regrow from the roots? Or have I got tarragon shaped weeds? TIA, Sarah They're herbs, hence herbaceous. ;-) They die down in winter like many herbs (not all) and re-shoot in spring/summer. What you need to be sure of is that they are not water-logged and that if it rains the pots can drain (put them on feet or bricks) *and* that they're in a sunny place. If they've been badly frosted you might be unlucky. But with luck, you have new tarragon though it will take a while to be sure. Best test - does rubbing the leaves give any indication of tarragon scent on your fingers? -- Sacha (remove the weeds to email me) |
