Ozbreed lists it for New South Wales, the ACT, Victoria, Tasmania, South Australia, Western Australia and Queensland. In northern Queensland it is shorter lived, about two to three years, and further south it is a long term plant.

Well drained soil or a raised bed suits it, and heavy soil works if you avoid regular wet feet.
