This hardy plant does well in clay soil and underneath Euctalyptus trees. Handled the mild winter just fine with no fertilzing or special care.

In the farthest northern region of New York state, this plant is a wonder. It tolerates our dry hot summer or our wet hot summer or our cold summer! It stands up well to cool temperatures in the late summer and early fall, even to a light frost. Certainly a bright and cheerful spot in any garden.

Pretty little plant used here as an annual. It is a nice addition to a mix pot of flowers! Zone 11

Zone 10 - sold as groundcover - full sun, spreads beautifully, yet is low (under 10") - blooms year round.

In Zone 9 coastal Nor.Cal this is an evergreen, ever-blooming Australian native suitable for rock garden walls or hanging baskets. "Blue Wonder" should not be confused with "Diamond Head", which blooms less profusely than BW. In inland areas will take filtered sun, once established needs watering once every 2-3 weeks.
