It is thus best grown as a specimen plant. The last 15 cm or so of the branches hang in a weeping manner. The leaves vary in length from 5 mm to 7 mm and are oblong to cuneate in shape and covered with dense short hairs giving the whole plant a greyish bloom. Flowering is from spring to summer and the flowers are bright yellow in colour. Flowering density is high.
Seed is ripe in late summer to early autumn.
In cultivation it seems to appreciate a moist soil with average drainage. The plant performs best in an open position with sun for at least half a day. Those specimens grown in the Australian National Botanic Gardens in heavier shade grow more spindly than those in an open position. Supplementary watering is needed during the warmer summer months. Although best grown as a specimen plant, the species also makes a good, small informal hedge and tolerates light pruning very well.
