Best grown in a warm position in a moderately rich free soil of an open texture. Tolerates moderately limey soils so long as they are deep and rich in humus. The branches are brittle so a sheltered position is required. Another part of the same book says that this species is fairly wind-resistant. Succeeds in full sun or semi-shade. Plants are hardy to about -10°c. The fleshy roots are easily damaged and any transplanting is best done during a spell of mild moist weather in late spring. A very ornamental plant, a number of named forms have been developed. The flowers are very large (up to 25cm across) and have a delicious and very powerful scent. This is perhaps the most strongly scented flower in the world. They can be produced in trees as young as 10 years old. The form 'Exmouth Variety' (also known as elliptica) produces its flowers when younger than the species, these flowers have a refreshing lemon scent. There is no main flush of flowering, instead the flowers open intermittently throughout the summer[K].
