Crikey, I have those taking over my garden, they are total thugs. Never knew I could make my fortune with them too!
They do only have one main flush if flowers. Though they will peter on through the summer. Deadheading doesn't make a difference to mine.

3 for £20 is very steep!!! These are cheap as chips plants. How big are they, difficult to gauge from pics, I got one from morrisons a month back for £1.50. Have you watered it in well? They can't support themselves for a good season and need lots of watering

I saw these in a local garden centre when they are wild everywhere locally, madness!

(Ah we do live in the NW. Lots of watering).

I bought one at the very end of March. One day it looks dead, the next day there's new flowers. It's been like this ever since. Don't give up hope.

They're perennials, so even if they don't flower again this year, they'll come back next year. They look nice in cracks in walls, just break a lump off and pop it in any gap you have.

Water, dead head, feed and they’ll revive lovely little plants.
