It is an excellent garden subject if planted in a warm, sunny or even semi-shaded position in rich, well-drained composted soil. It is also a lovely plant in a small or medium container for patios or verandas in good light conditions. The plant responds well to pruning for shape in late winter. It propagates easily from seed, but do not keep them too wet. Regular feeding with both general fertilizer and those containing trace elements will keep the foliage healthy and green.
