They do like a cuddle in the winter with a little fleece or mulch and if they are in a pot you can lift them somewhere sheltered over the coldest 3 months. When planted in the border just cover the crown with a couple of inches of mulch once the frost has turned them to mush. They seed themselves quite freely or they divide between the eyes in winter.
