    Granted, we don't get real frosts here, the coldest it has been in the garden so far is +3, but my Russian tarragon is now shooting well again and is about 4" tall now (the bits the slugs didn't get that is)

      RM - not hardy as such, however it can be classed as a tender perennial. Mine usually survives most winters. It didn't 05/06 and the leaves have died back this winter however I shall wait until a bit later in the year before I decide if it has had it or not. Most things seem to have survived ok this winter. My bronze fennel is still putting out small fluffy fronds.

        I have tarragon in a very dry east facing border. I suppose it is French. Would they sell Russian? Anyway it has been there for there 3 years and survived -13C and at the moment builders walking all over it. Every time they go away and it warms up it tries to grow.

        Looks like hardy to me

          You never know with the French, it probably is their own they aren't very good at imports are they
