Hi John, I'm assuming you have the purple, green leaved variety called Erysium 'Bowles Mauve' ? These are one of my favourites for mass planting near the sea and they wont be long before they start to flower ! You have 2 options, depending on how leggy the are ?? If very leggy, I would halve them now and that will encourage them to bush out, they will still flower albeit later on. If they are not too bad, let them flower and then about June halve them then.
