Cultivation

Requires a well-drained humus-rich soil and a cool root run[3]. Plants prefer some shade in Australian gardens[3], though are likely to require full sun in Britain[K].

This species tolerates temperatures down to about -7°c in Australian gardens[3], though this cannot be applied directly to British gardens because of the cooler summers, that can often fail to fully ripen new growth, and the longer, colder and wetter winters[K]. This plant generally requires cold greenhouse treatment in Britain[4].
