Darwina taxifolia is naturally found in Australia on the lower east coast of New South Wales growing in heath and the adjoining mountains in moist shallow sandy well drained soils. It prefers a protected sunny position and is frost and drought tolerant.

The Yew Scent-myrtle is grown for its small deep red flowers and is suitable for small to medium size gardens as a low filler or rockery specimen. It is suitable for coastal or adjoining hillsides and the sub species macrolaena is more commonly grown for its spreading habit establishing in 1 to 2 years. ID 1557
