Well, what about chives?

A herb in the culinary sense, but not herbaceous.
So doesn't fit with the original premise 'it's a herb so it's
herbaceous


Chives aren't herbaceous? If you have any that aren't, please tell
all ....

In the gardening sense, as opposed to botanical, bulbs aren't what you
think of when you say 'herbaceous'. OK, I grant you they are not trees,
so perhaps they weren't the best counterexample to 'they're herbs and
therefore herbaceous'.


You know what? There is something known as "too much information". To the
OP, yes your Tarragon will grow again from its roots every year, providing
frost and damp haven't killed it.

Now - what do you want to know about Chives? ;-)) BTW, your Lupins are
herbaceous, too. But don't eat them. ;-) And your peonies and your
daffodils and your Salvias - oh wait! - some of those are culinary! It's a
bummer, isn't it?
