This easy-to-grow plant may take a few years to get well established, but once it does, it is quite long-lived. Thanks to its substantial taproots that penetrate deep into the soil, it does well in somewhat dry conditions, but it is very difficult to transplant. So pick a planting site with care and leave it be.
