The flowers attract honeyeating birds. Under good conditions and if not pruned annually, the plant can become open and untidy with age. If necessary, it can be rejuvenated by heavy pruning to about half a metre above ground level. A sunny, well drained position is preferable in the garden and plants are tolerant of at least moderate frost. Fertilisers containing phosphorus are best avoided.
Propagation is fairly easy from cuttings.
