Herb is awfully arrogant (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tarragon

'herb' is the definition.
(I know that tarragon is a type of herb)

'awfully arrogant' is the wordplay.
'awfully' indicates anagramming the letters.
'arrogant' is an anagram of 'TARRAGON'.

'is' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for tarragon that I've seen before include "Fragrant herb" , "Arrogant (anag) - herb" , "Arrogant sort of herb" , "Strangely arrogant herb" , "leaves" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
