Growth—
Androcalva fraseri is known to be somewhat frost-tolerant[1]. It is said to be hardy to about -7° c in Australian gardens, though this cannot be translated as hardiness in British gardens due to our cooler summers and longer, colder and wetter winters[2]. Plants are shade-tolerant in Australia[2]. 154
