crambe cordifolia in medit climate?

Hello all,

    I was thrilled when I recently found a crambe cordifolia at a local
nursery, since I've been craving it ever since I saw it in several English
gardens some years ago. 

    However, it's been looking a little unhappy since it went in
the ground in my garden. I don't know its preferences and can't find it 
in the Sunset book of western plants, which led me to wonder if this in a
plant that is unsuited to the Mediterranean climate? It hasn't really heated
up here yet, the temperature has been in the pleasant 70's but the crambe
leaves have been turning yellow. (I planted it in a full sun, moderate-water
bed 3-4 weeks ago.)

    Could anyone of you who has grown this plant or knows its requirements
comment?

Thanks very much,
