It is generally a very hardy garden plant which is suited to a range of soil types, provided drainage is good. It will grow in full sun but is more attractive in dappled shade. It should not be allowed to dry out. Propagation is easy from seed following pre-treatment to break the physical dormancy provided by the impervious seed coat. The seed retains viability for many years.
Cuttings strike well using firm, current season's growth.
