Don,

I don't have Tequila Sunrise but I have all kinds of the wider leafed garden 
plants.  They don't live a long time time.  They seed around and you need 
save a few each year.  Sometimes they live over two winters but are never 
permanent.  This would in contrast to verticillata  types (Moonbeam, Zagreb, 
etc.) which if divided once in a while live forever.
If your plant makes a few crowns perhaps you could cut out the extras and 
plant them elsewhere in the garden to keep it going.  That is my experience 
with the various wider leafed plants.
