The flower colour may be red, yellow or cream and they occur from late winter through to early summer. They are large and conspicuously ribbed. As a species native to relatively dry areas, E.youngiana is best suited to cultivation in climates which have a dry summer. It has been grown in sub tropical districts but cannot be regarded as reliable in those areas. The species responds well to hard pruning almost to ground level if rejuvenation is required.
Propagation is from seed which germinates readily.
