Elfie I grow it here. Easy peasy. Mine's in a pot, mostly because we do get at least one or two hard frost/freezes every winter. I find volunteers from seed in the flower bed where the pot sits occasionally when the pods burst before I catch them. I water when it's dry, but it doesn't seem to have an issue when we get our torrential summer rains either. It get's morning sun, mid day dappled sun/shade, then very late in the day sun again. Maybe I'll move it this year to the succulent bed where it get's a little more sun. I don't even remember the last time I fertilized it, tho I did repot it last year, well, really just refreshed the soil and put it back in the same pot.
