As my crowns were grown from seed almost 2 years ago there is a greater tendancy to go to seed which they have been doing. I have cut about 3 seed heads from each crown. But there is some wonderful stems and so far no slugs as i think there is a hedgehog down that part of the plot.

...my crowns are under weed membrane and planted into holes to stop weeds and cut moisture loss.

I am tempted to cut the membrane a little more and add some horse poop ( i dont have any well rotted stuff so i think a dressing of chicken poo and compost will keep them happy.

I have been giving them a little water but the ground a couple of inches below the top of the soil is still wet.
