The feed has produced lots of soft new growth, but they clearly like their site. You might want to make the border a bit wider as they're already encroaching on the grass.
It also depends on variety as to the height they achieve, but the long stems are the ones which will carry flowers. I think there are buds there already
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
I think they will look fabulous against your wall when in flower. Some varieties have flowering stems which are a foot long - they are great for cutting. You can prune back with harvesting and/or in early Spring.
Thank you very much ladies! Yes there are buds there. I just haven't seen such long stems before-must be the variety-I can't remember which it is! I'll take your advice and widen the border when we cut the grass tomorrow Fairy girl ?
