Cultural Notes: Torbay Dazzler prefers dry summer conditions when the humidity is lower. It is not suited to tropical climates. Some shade protection is necessary in hotter inland gardens. It is drought tolerant in coastal gardens but responds well to irrigation. It will tolerate -5 degrees C, and will survive -10 degrees C but this depends on the saturation level of the soil. It doesn't like cold and wet soil in combination. Source: © 2014 Sprint Horticulture Pty Ltd
