They will flower until next March/April and then if you have some trees, plant them out under those and they should come up again in August/September next year.
Most people tend to overwater them, leave them dry out and if possible water early in the morning to allow the foliage to dry out before night time.

Thanks Lannerman, that's really helpful.

I don't know what species they are, it seems to be a generic B&Q plant name "Verve".

I definately take your point about the watering, as the soil was pretty wet. Have pulled out the wilted leaves and will leave to dry out a little then follow your instructions.

Thanks again

Regards
