It's an annual, so won't come back next year. If you like, collect the seeds and sow them in late winter or spring in pots kept at a temperature of no less than 16 degrees. A cool windowsill would be ideal.

There are perennial ones which do survive in our garden, even outside in full sun and extremely well drained soil.

Its just as easy to buy a new pkt of seeds and sow in doors in April - as the seeds are so small - My wife sows a few pkts every year - this year they have been very good

Look for Delosperma species and hybrids for similar flowers on perennial plants. In southern Ireland, Cephalophyllum x 'Red Spike', and Malephora crocea might also work. All of them need very sharp drainage!
