You might need to stake them to prevent it happening again !

they are quite hardy, if not definitely in need of staking..... last year I had a plant about a foot high that had snapped off in the wind - about 12 inches in height. So I forced the leaves through a loo roll, sank the bottom bit of the roll into the soil and firmed it up.... voila! Made a full recovery!  8)
