Cultivation & Habitat
Seed – sow late winter in a cold greenhouse. When large enough to handle, prick the seedlings out into individual pots and grow them on for at least their first winter in a greenhouse. Plant out in late spring or early summer, after the last expected frosts.
Division in spring.
Prefers a well-drained sandy peaty loam in a warm, sheltered sunny position[200].
Succeeds in areas where temperatures seldom fall much below freezing so long as it is given a sunny sheltered position and a well-drained soil[200]. Plants are hardy to at least -7¡c in Australian gardens[157], though this cannot be translated directly to British gardens due to our cooler summers and colder longer and wetter winters.
The plant has a strong scent of vanilla, this is especially noticeable on warm days[157].
Australia – New South Wales, Tasmania, Victoria.
