To date, several commercial stands of smokebush have been established using results from these investigations. Grey-white flowered smokebush is used mainly as a filler flower, similar to Geraldton wax, but some of the blue forms may be used as feature fillers commanding a higher price. Introduction of new selections with form and colour variation provides an opportunity to compete with established feature filler products such as Gypsophila and statice. Flowering stems are available, depending on species, from July to February and are exported to Japan, the USA and Europe. It is expected that this situation will change with the introduction of better selections and higher quality cultivated material.
Some species appear to be frost tolerant.
They are best established in spring using drip irrigation. The soil surface needs to be kept moist during establishment. It is expected that Conospermum spp. C. eatoniae is suited to drier regions, while C. caeruleum prefers cooler climates. These species are currently available commercially in Western Australia.
