Plants are very attractive when planted en masse and thrive in light soil, which is rich in organic matter, particularly leaf mould. For smaller gardens plants can be grouped in threes and scattered around strategically to provide lovely splashes of colour.

In cultivation, contrary to their restricted geographical distribution, plants are very adaptive to various growing conditions. They perform very well in shade, mostly as groundcovers, and are reported to thrive in full sun too, where they flower optimally, forming neat, rounded bushes, however this is subjected to further experimentation. To keep neat, trim and remove dead flowers and leaves regularly during the growing season and when they die back in winter.

They need to be protected from frost, but can survive winter rainfall when dormant as their natural habitat probably remains moist in winter too.

Plants are easily propagated from cuttings and seeds. Best results are obtained from sowing fresh seed where 100% germination can be achieved.
