 Plants may be propagated by seed or cutting and grow in a well-drained sunny position, and are suitable for use in a rockery or cottage garden.The Mount Annan Botanic Garden has been involved in selecting and breeding cultivars for the home garden and the cut flower industry.One selection was named "Actinotus" 'Federation Star', and was chosen to be the New South Wales floral emblem for the Centenary of Federation (1901–2001).
