I live in Hawaii and would like to raisee a pot of French Taragon. Do you have experience with this climate. Please comment freely either way I love it to marinate chicken with taragon and raspberry vinaigrette for grilling on the barby.

Hi, I have grown French tarragon in California and now in Colorado and have had wonderful luck with it in both states!!! It reproduces nicely. You might want to plant it in a pot if you don't want it spreading to a very large area! DO get a "plant" to start it. French tarragon cannot be started from seed, and any seed you get will most likely be "Russian or Mexican" tarragon, and is not the same as French tarragon!!!! Mine dies back in the winter here in Colorado, but comes back with a vengeance in the spring. I hope you have great luck growing it!!!!
