Really like these. I have just bought two although the variety is not the same it has very similar flowers.

Thanks - yes, they're useful little plants. I have several, but one or two are getting a bit 'tatty'. I think they're due for replacement!

2 of mine are tatty because of their size (2ftx2ft) and age (about 6 years) I suppose, but I find a good hair cut revives them, do you think I should replace them yet Spritz?

No - not if they flower well! I have no idea whether we can take cuttings off them - it's worth a try, though....I decided to have a go before I 'ditch' my tatty ones.

Have a look underneath the edges of the clump Spritz,you should be able to find pieces with roots attached (actually growing in the soil)
I have done this and got several plants from the original :)
