Hi Dawn,
They need full sun and will often bloom when they are mature, which is usually after 3 or 4 years.* You should find this interesting.

When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant.

They usually die after flowering as the article stated.* Sometimes there are surprises and they will live on to flower again.
