It prefers habitats such as coastal sand dunes, headlands, and adjacent alluvial flats. Can be planted around slow growing shrubs to offer protection during the establishment phase.

Uses: Well suited for low maintenance areas such as road batters, for hydro-seeding work on banks where it will provide soil stabilisation and works well as a hedge plant or for screening.

Flowering: The cylindrical flower-spikes are packed with bright to pale yellow coloured flowers, blooming from June to October.

Aspect: Although they prefer full sun they will grow in part shade but will produce less flowers.
