These are followed by ribbed, cup-shaped fruits containing the seeds which are dispersed when ripe. This is a hardy plant which will tolerate a variety of soils. It is not commonly cultivated but, because of its moderate size, is suited to smaller gardens. It flowers best in full sun and will withstand moderate frosts once established. The well displayed flowers make a welcome addition to the garden at a time when flowering of many other plants has ceased.
Propagation is from seed which germinates readily.
