Thank you, Lin : ) I'm going to have a go at getting these through the winter ... the flowers are nearly 4 inches across.

Ahh - excellent. That way you'll know exactly what to buy for next year :)
Today they look rather gloomy - they don't seem to be enjoying the driving wet SW winds.

WOW! ~ those flower heads are huge, what are you feeding them on Mrv ~ the water from the spinach after Mrs. Mrv has cooked your dinner ? (LOL) !!! Hope you manage to get them through the winter.

Yeah, they're not bad :) Thank you. In answer, just basic Tesco outdoor plant food once - had it left over from last year. I'm going to try and not build up too much tender growth and lift them probably in September and keep them indoors once the first frosts look like they're on their way. I may be able to get some cuttings going early next spring ... well that's the plan anyway :)
