Ive just put one of mine on the sleeper path in the fenced bed to see what happens

.

They really must not like the shade, My mothers 2 are both in the shade, one planted up on the bank in the back garden, the other round the front (both tiny compared to mine and they are a month older). Ive told her to move the one in the front so its in the sun.

That might mean the ones that I've planted facing east won't do well. I should imagine that shade is a no-no.

It is planted in the ground so it will be there until it dies.

I believe they are true annuals and not just frost tender.

I'm sure it grows by inches everyday Grindle.

I have a few plants which are native to Spain in there and they are all doing well.
