Cultivation Details
Grows best in a sunny position[1]. Prefers a well-drained soil[1]. Plants usually grow in acid soils in the wild[2]. Established plants are drought tolerant[1]. Plants are slow-growing, even when young[1]. Plants can resprout freely from the base if they are burned or cut down[2].
Propagation
Seed - best sown in a partially shaded position in a nursery seedbed. Sow the seed on the surface of the soil and gently firm into the soil - be careful not to wash the seed away when watering. A germination rate in excess of 20% can be expected, with the seed sprouting within 60 - 70 days[1].
