This herbaceous perennial is a hardy garden plant in southern African gardens, but it might not prove hardy in colder climates. Plants require well-drained soil, and perform well in full sun. They can be used successfully to line an informal shrub border or driveways; however, enough space must be left to allow plants to spread comfortably. Plants make good container subjects too.

To encourage new growth, plants need to be cut back at least once every year. Propagation is easily obtained from seeds or stem cuttings.
