Habitat:  Coastal situations and occasionally inland on South Island[44].



Cultivation Notes:  Succeeds in any well-drained moderately fertile soil in full sun[182]. Thrives in a chalky soil[182] but prefers a light loam or peaty soil[11]. Very tolerant of maritime exposure[75]. This species is not very hardy in Britain, it generally requires the protection of a wall outside the milder areas[1] and is sometimes killed in severe winters when growing inland in Cornwall[75]. Flowers best in years following long hot summers[200]. Very tolerant of severe pruning, plants can be pruned right back into old wood in order to promote fresh growth[200]. It is best to trim new growth by 50% each year in order to promote basal shoots[75]. Any pruning is best done in the spring[11].
