Difference between Russian and French tarragon:

Russian tarragon (Artemisia dracunculoides). Often also called in the market (Artemisia dracunculus var. inodora). 

– aroma is significantly weaker, taste is mild
– can be propagated from seeds
– very hardy and overwinters well
– grows rapidly, forms large, dense clumps
– easy to grow, undemanding

French tarragon (Artemisia dracunculus). Since French tarragon is not propagated by seeds, as the flowers are mostly sterile, then most likely seed packets labeled (Artemisia dracunculus), in reality are (Artemisia dracunculoides) - Russian tarragon.
