The only place I've been able to keep these going is in the crack
between our flagstone patio and the wood edging of an adjacent bed;
planted in pure sand that has had the humus of the years sift into
it. They've lived there for many years now, but I only get one or
two flowers as it's probably a bit too shady...but they haven't died
out (knock on wood) :-) Never lasted over a year in regular garden
beds/borders. I know that clump needs splitting, but have to remove
flagstone and re-lay it to get at them, so have not done it...
