Unhealthy looking senetti

Hi there,
I bought some Senetti Blue Bicolour and planted it in a container in mostly shade (I’ve since read they need partial sun?). The soil didn’t dry out so I wonder if that has damaged the plant. I’ve repotted it into dry soil and was going to leave it in the sun for a bit.
Can anyone tell me if this is the right approach and/or what I could do to encourage flowering?
My plants do tend to get a bit leggy as never sure when/how far down to prune them. Any advice about this would be gratefully received too!

Very popular as houseplants years ago.
They're ok in the garden once the risk of frost has passed, but yours has been frosted by the look of it.
Can you keep it somewhere inside overnight during this unusually frosty period?
It'll be fine during the day outside somewhere bright but sheltered but frost will kill it.
If you can keep it frost free, see if some new growth appears

Keep the compost just slightly damp, no fertilizer and keep your fingers crossed.
If the roots and lower part of the plant survived, you should see some evidence of life in the next couple of weeks then you can tidy it up a bit more.
