Caputia pyramidata is a slow-growing attractive shrub with horticultural appeal and is best suited for Thicket Gardens (Van Jaarsveld 2010). It is best grown in full sun as a focal point. Its ornamental value is characterised by its decorative ascending growth of crowded silvery grey-green leaves crowded at the branch ends with its striking tall yellow flowers. Although it prefers full sun, when grown in slightly shady conditions the leaves tend to be longer and greener. Their soil should be well-drained and they thrive in rockeries on sunny slopes.

Caputia pyramidata does well in cultivation, especially Mediterranean type gardens in Europe and California where frost is not severe. It also makes a wonderful container subject. It is best grown out of doors but can also be planted in conservatories in cold climates. Plants should reach flowering size in about three years.

Caputia pyramidata are easily propagated from stem cuttings. It can be done throughout the year but is best done during the spring or summer when it should root rapidly. Grow in sand or gravel and place in a warm, sunny position. Rooting should take place within four weeks. It is best to allow the stem cutting to form a heel by placing it on a dry window sill for a week or three. Cuttings are best rooted in a small container in a well-drained medium. Once rooted, they can be planted out in containers and kept until ready for planting in a sunny well-drained spot in the garden. Feed plants with an organic fertiliser (compost or any other liquid fertiliser). Although Caputia pyramidata can be watered at any time of the year, watering should be reduced during winter.
