The Seed Exchange

Looking for French Tarragon

8 years ago

Would love to find another local (Austin Texas Area) person to trade with, but happy to ship anywhere. Please look at my list and let me know what you would like in trade. Revamping my list as it has been a while since I have been back, so please check back or ask if there is something specific you are looking for and I'll let you know if I have it or can get it.

Looking for the real French tarragon that rarely flowers and never seeds, so need a cutting or preferably a root division . Thank you!

I checked out your trade list and am interested in

Lime Basil (A)
Thai Basil (A)
Mexican Mint

I don't have any of the other plants you are specifically looking for, but are there any other categories of seeds you might be interested in.

Your username is Pizzahaulic, so I am assuming you are interested in Pizza ingredients. I have several varieties of tomato, peppers, and herbs. My quantities are mostly limited, but I would gladly share what I have.

Btw, it would sure be great if folks could message you directly. You can edit your profile if you like to allow other users to message you.

Noticed that you have received no replies to this. I am the owner of a genuine French Tarragon plant and would be willing to trade for the sage seedlings if you're still interested. You're right to want this plant as it is divine in cooking! You'd have to let me know in advance though as I would have to prepare the cutting for you. If anyone else wants some and has herbs to trade feel free to send me a message and I'll start the cuttings.

End-of-the-Season clearance sales are how I have added many perennial plants to my gardens. You take chances on them making the winter but you can afford the gamble at a fraction of the original prices! If you are having problems finding a good source for real french tarragon locally, I might suggest mail-order from one of the reputable herb places like Richters, Horizon Herbs, or Nichols Nursery. I've ordered plants and seeds for years from all 3 and have nothing but good to say. Links included: Richters Horizon Herbs Nichols Garden Nursery FataMorgana

I am also curious about the French Tarragon you seek. How come it does not seed? How does it propagate (naturally) if not by seed?

French Tarragon is sterile, vegetative propagation only. The same with saffron.

I've seen it offered at my local nursery for $2.50 in Spring. I'll let you know if I find it. You need to enable messaging under advanced setting so others can contact you.
