    I am not certain, but I would suspect that the humidity is too low. Low humidity can cause this in other kinds of plants, so I would think it would be a factor here. Is your house drier this year than it has been in year's past? If you have had unusually cold weather where you are, your heater may be drying the air out more than it has in past years.

    yes, it has been drier; colder weather, so the woodstove goes a lot; keep a pot of water on it to add moisture, but it must not be enough. thanks!

    Most likely not. They are not known for blooming twice in a season.

    Now is a good time. They can take the little bit of cold that could possibly occur from now till last frost.

    Divide and transplant them in the fall. Each division should have at least two shoots (five shoots are ideal) and plenty of roots. Replant your root divisions as soon as possible.

    They are very evasive ground covers. I had the same problem. Here's what I did: Using spade - dig up as much of the root system as you can. Do this until all are removed. don't leave in to flower & seed or you will continue to have a problem. You just have to keep doing until all are done & gone. It's a task.

    If you cut back green foliage, it can harm the plant's ability to build energy for surviving the winter and blooming next year. You should only cut back yellow leaves, as these are dead and no longer help the plant build energy.
