Take heart, they will regrow.
You might like to try making some cuts on the rhizome with a sharp knife.
Sometimes new plants grow out from these cuts. I don't know why, but this
works about 50% of the time. Either way, this is a very tough plant. I
haven't had one die on me in years.

If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it. The
long-term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists, whereas the
rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering
experience.
