My 'Lucifer' flowered early and, despite watering, the flowers didn't last, the leaves went totally brown and I've cut them all right back as if it was October. My ordinary ones, that I still think of as montbretia, didn't even make it to flowering before they crisped up. So they've had the chop as well, only time will tell if I've done the right thing!
What a season, eh.
