I assume your tarragon plant has revived in the spring? Mine behaves
as a perennial and over winters outside in Zone 7. Each spring it
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.

My sister keeps telling me about that... Since I can't seem to keep
Tarragon alive either outdoors in the herb garden, or in a pot in the
greenhouse, I might have to try that.

Another herb with a similar flavor (that I seem to be able to grow if I
can keep the tiger swallowtail babies off of it!) is fennel.
