Breynia oblongifolia is naturally found in Australia from southern New South Wales extending to Queensland growing along the coast and in the adjoining mountains. Its habitat varies from Eucalypt forests to rainforest margins and coastal sand dunes.

It prefers a protected sunny position and grows in an organic rich moist soil and is drought and frost tender. 

Breynia is grown for its upright bushy habit and is planted along borders in parks, gardens and bushland settings. It is very suitable for coastal regions establishing in 2 to 3 years and forms a dense screen. It is not commonly cultivated in domestic gardens but is excellent for planting in commercial sites, attracting birds. ID 2510
