This is what is sometimes called a rooster. It will eventually form flowers, then that part of the plant will die. But the hole will fill in with another hen.

Yes, they prefer full sun so be sure to plant them in a sunny part of your garden.

This is quite normal and nothing to be alarmed about. The taller plant you are seeing is the rooster. This rooster will give flowers really soon. They are really beautiful and look so nice.

Don't be alarmed when it dies after flowering this is also normal. Soon another hen will fill in this place and the cycle will start over again.
