I have 4 of these lovely plants this year and so far have been smelling great on a night, they are currently not looking too good and have gone to looking worse for wear. I have them in containers with other plants and they are watered / fed regularly. I was expecting them to last throughtout the Summer, should i be doing anything to keep the going?

    Have they just suffered from the recent heavy rain and winds? We've also had some cold nights.
    Are they planted far enough apart?

    I can rise and shine - just not at the same time!

    Have you been dead heading them, they need the finished flowers removing to give the new ones a chance to grow.

    Up in Northumberland, yes they've had heavy rain and winds over the last few days, they're in separate containers with other plants, didn't read they needed to be deadheaded, will give it a go. Thanks
