1. 🌱 How to Sow

Sow the fine seed sparingly in a drained starter mix, cover very lightly and keep warm until seedlings appear. Transplant after true leaves develop and plants are hardened off.

2. ☀️ Sunlight, Soil & Water

• Light: Choose a sunny, sheltered location; protect young plants from severe midday summer heat.
• Soil: Use a clean, loose, fertile-enough mix with unobstructed drainage. Avoid waterlogged containers.
• Watering: Light consistent moisture while germinating, then water only as the upper soil begins drying.

3. 🌿 Fertilizer & Growth Care

Use well-rotted compost in moderate amounts; excessive feeding encourages soft stems.

4. 🐛 Common Pests & Prevention

Monitor tender tips for aphids and mites; remove heavily damaged shoots and encourage air circulation. Inspect plants weekly, remove damaged foliage and avoid automatic pesticide spraying. If treatment is required, use only a locally authorised product labelled for the edible crop and observe all label directions.

5. 🛡️ Diseases & Prevention

Avoid wet roots and crowded seedlings to reduce root rot and fungal leaf problems. Isolate heavily affected plants and seek local horticultural advice if symptoms spread.

6. ✂️ Harvesting / Flowering

Cut young leaves and tips from established plants; seed-grown type may have milder flavour. True French tarragon is propagated from cuttings or division, not reliably from seed.
