Thanks for all the answers.
I think I'll wait and see cut back the dead parts and hope that it recovers.
If not I'll just plant something else there. It'll be a pity if I have lost
it because it was bursting with flowers last summer but, hey, that's all
part of gardening! )

Despite what I said, I saw that mine had started sprouting (it is in
a VERY warm spot for this garden), and so cut it back to just above
some active shoots. I shall see how it goes, but expect it to ramp
forward if the weather stays fairly warm.
