Position: Full sun to part shade. Tolerates heavy frost to dry conditions. Tolerates a wide variety of soils but prefers free draining soil.

In Sydney it needs a shaded position and irrigation, except for coastal positions which will handle full sun.

Plant in a well mulched garden (chunky mulch is recommended), do not cover base of plant with mulch or soil.

If required use slow release fertiliser in spring. Remove older foliage as required or every 2-5 years cut back to half the height (will look better with pruning every 2 years, this depends on your requirements).
