Display "King's Park Royale" as a feature plant or among other native flora, appreciating its bright colours and distinctive form. It prefers full sun and can adapt to various soil types but will flourish with improved sandy soils. Watering needs are minimal once established, and it responds well to fertilising with native fertiliser in Djilba (late winter to early spring) and Djeran (autumn).
