Mainly found in warm temperate areas, the plant does just find its way into the tropics. It is usually found in drier areas. Requires a sunny position and a well-drained soil. The plant responds well to trimming[PFAF].

Seed - sow spring in a greenhouse and only just cover the seed. Germination should take place within a week, prick out the seedlings into individual pots when they are large enough to handle and plant them out after the last expected frosts.
