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.

Try Mexican Mint Marigold as a substitute. I'm in San Antonio where it gets over
100dF several times each yr. and MMM hangs in.
