Cultivation

Thrives in arid conditions[1]. Requires greenhouse protection in Britain[3]. Plants tolerate temperatures down to about -7°c in Australian gardens, though this cannot be applied directly to British gardens due to our cooler summers that fail to fully ripen the wood and our longer, wetter winters[157, K].
