About this plant

An attractive, bushy perennial herb producing branching stems of lance shaped, highly aromatic, mid-green foliage and loose panicles of insignificant, yellow-white flowers in late Summer. Much more vigorous than French Tarragon but equally deserving of growing in the garden for its culinary use
