My Tarragon Plant Has No Anise-Like Taste

This happens to herbs when you are too nice to them. The better their conditions, the weaker and more diluted their flavor becomes. They need to struggle a bit to have good flavor.

At the very least, do not fertilize your tarragon. Do not provide more than 2-3 inches of water a week, if you can help it.
