Difficult to tell unless you can tell us in what way it doesn't look
very happy!

It will probably do better in a well drained soil in a sunny spot,


Maybe some gravel mixed in with the potting compost would help.

and
is perfectly capable of surviving outdoors over winter. Generally plants
do better in the ground than in pots. Pots are for if you need to move
the plants around (eg to take them inside in the winter, or move them
into an obscure spot while they're not flowering) or because you can't
provide their preferred soil conditions in your garden.
