I assume your tarragon plant has revived in the spring? Mine behaves

revives beautifully and each late fall it dies back.

Can I ask what kind of tarragon? I live on the cusp of zone 7 and
8, and it seems to be too hot here for tarragon. It grows fine
for me all spring, but fades after the heat hits.

French tarragon. I have had it planted in a very large tub (think of
something you'd put a patio evergreen in) for the last 4-5 years.

It needs good drainage and I have it in full southern exposure on a
deck. It gets mighty hot in the summer up there. It grows like a weed.
In fact, I usually tie the clump together with twine so it does not
overwhelm the other herbs in the container.
