Rated 5 out of 5. French Tarragon. It's pretty hard to get hold of French Tarragon but it's a lovely herb to have in the garden and in your kitchen. As always the plants arrived in perfect condition and are now busily growing in their new pot, making me very happy indeed. Barbara Churcher , November 2025.

Rated 5 out of 5. Rarest of rare herb. My French Tarragon is still an infant, too young to leave its mother. I will be nurturing it until it gets a permanent home in my garden, so in time, I will mention how well it works for me.While on the subject, I found this site both exciting, and contact with staff has been a pleasure. The range of plants is wide and prices and service are first class. Highly recommended irrespective of whether it is herbs or plants like perennials. L Barlow , November 2024.

Good quality

Quality of the tube stock was pretty good. However sadly died a couple days after planting :( Not sure if I had too much sun on it or a little too much water. All the other plants ordered have come happy and healthy and are thriving well.

French tarragon excellent service.

I became interested in this herb only to find it doesn’t grow from seed. A search led me to mud cottage. I left my email to be contacted when they became available as they were being cultivated. I was a few months later pleasantly surprised to get an email to say they were ready for sale. I ordered and received regular emails with links to videos of how to care for the tube stock on arrival and how the plants would arrive packed. On arrival the plants were in good condition the soil in the tube was still moist to touch despite the journey from QLD to SA taking a few days. Excellent service .

Great service, love my plant

I haven’t bought plants online before and I was surprised how well my French Tarragon survived the journey. A week or two after arriving in the mail the plant is thriving. Very grateful for the various instructional videos available. Thanks for the prompt and attentive service.

Fantastic plants and service

I recently purchased French Tarragon (often hard to get) and was delighted with the plant which was perfect, with well developed roots without being pot bound. The packaging and time it took to reach me was amazing too - I live in a remote area but still it arrived in lightening fast time. I will definitely shop here again - just a shame I am too far away to pop in for a visit!
