Hiya rosemummy. I would regard them as half hardy annuals, so you need to save seed and start again each year.

Beth Chatto has a white one she got from Dixter that acts as a perennial, but it is currently out of stock.
I have seeds for matthiola perennis, which is described as a short life perennial
