Divide these plants after flowering and you'll be well rewarded. They flower profusely in winter when there's not much else around in the way of colour. Regular deadheading will ensure a long, hardworking season from them too. They certainly earn there keep.

Thank you, what do I do about slugs?
What is deadheading?

Deadheading is removing the dead/damaged flower heads. Just pinch them off between finger and thumb - easy peasy.
As for the slugs, if you read through the blogs on here you'll find loads of info on different ways to get rid of them. Good luck

The idea of deadheading is to trick the plant into thinking it hasn't flowered giving it incentive (and energy) to produce more flowers. After all, flowering is what they exist for.
