The very dark purple foliage makes this an outstanding contrast plant for landscaping work. Has proven to be slow growing but makes a great feature or screen plant. Can be susceptible to myrtle rust and root rot in wet and humid conditions. Likes a sunny position and well drained soil. Will tolerate coastal conditions well.
