Plectranthus parviflorus is naturally found in Australia from south-eastern Queensland to New South Wales and extending to Victoria growing along rainforest margins and in forest gullies in moist positions amongst rocks.  

It prefers a well drained, moist humus rich sandy-stony loams that are tending acidic in a sunny to semi shaded protected position and is drought tolerant but frost tender.

The Cockspur Flower is grown for its spreading habit and its flowers. It is planted in parks and gardens as a low border or filler plant and used as a spill-over in rockeries. It is suitable for coastal regions establishing in 1 to 2 years. It is also used along water courses in bushland settings. ID 2525
