    If there are no more buds, I would be inclined to trim them back and hope for a second flush.:dbgrtmb:

    Mine seemed to have finished flowering about three weeks ago, so I cut off all the flowered stems and now it has got another flush of buds. Still looks a bit sad, though, but I think it's the wind. It was given to me in a pot; I've never tried it before.

    .

    It was stated on Beechgrove gardens a few weeks ago that they love lots of watering and feeding.

    Prune gently out, all the growth that have finished flowering and they should throw lots of new shoots and hopefully flowers!

    Cheers!

    I just deadhead them when the colour fades, new buds appear within a few days.
