Habitat:  Heaths and woodlands in sandy and stony soils[193].

Cultivation Notes: Requires a warm position in full sun in a freely draining preferably sandy slightly acid soil, preferring a pH around 6.3 to 6.5[200]. Soils should be low in nutrients, especially nitrates and phosphates[200]. Resists salt spray[157]. Plants are not very hardy outdoors in Britain and usually require cool greenhouse treatment[1]. Plants tolerate temperatures down to at least -7°c in Australian gardens[157], though this cannot be translated directly to British gardens due to our cooler summers and longer colder and wetter winters.
