I kept three from last year. Two didn't survive the winter but the third one is flowering well again this year.
Dead-heading them extends their flowering period.

Yes, cut them back and they should last you for a few years. I have some that have flowered in my garden for about four years now, but they do tend to become a bit "leggy" if left for too many years.
