Found in the warm temperate to tropical areas of Australia. Found in the wild in a range of soil types including red sands, gravelly loams, and occasionally black soils or calcareous clays[1].

Propagation

Seed - they have no dormancy but germination is delayed and uneven. Soaking the seed in cold water for 24 hours prior to sowing may improve germination[2]. Seeds can be sown in well-drained, shady seedbeds or individual containers, using with equal proportions of sandy loam and sand. Germination is usually good, occurring after 2 - 4 weeks[3, 2]. When the seedlings are 7 days old, they are pricked out in polytubes. Shade is required for the first 2 - 3 weeks after transplanting[2]. In about 6 - 8 months, when the plants are 20 - 30cm tall, they can be planted out into their permanent positions[2]. Cuttings of half-ripe wood, 5 - 8cm with a heel[3].
