The leaves are silver-green and covered with fine silky hairs and pale yellow flowers. The name is derived from the Arabic word 'Tharkhoum' and the Latin word 'Dracunculus' meaning 'little dragon' - probably because of the way the root seems to coil up like a dragon.
Tarragon essential oil blends well with the following essential oils: lavender, pine and basil, and some of the spice oils.
