I have alot of cuttings starting to burst into life & will repot them up before I transplant them out. Any tips on what to plant with them please? A large dose of compost or fertiliser? TIA

Yes I throw a handful of sheep pellets around each of mine. They are pretty hardy plants.

They can be happy with very little. I have a whole back fencline of them planted basically in puggy clay that sets like concrete in Summer. They don't get a huge amount of sun except in Summer, and I prune them savagely and rather haphazardly in early Winter (usually - I missed this year!) and they seem to thrive on what really amounts to total neglect. If I remember I put some Aluminium phosphate around them to blue the flowers up towards the end of Winter, and that's about it. It would be Lime for pink/red ones, incidentally.

Seem to remember mum swearing by cold tea/leaves, saying it improved the colour.
