Ziera laevigata is naturally found in Australia growing from south-east Queensland to New South Wales along the coast and on the adjoining ranges in well drained sandy soils. It prefers an open sunny position but will tolerate some shade and is drought and light frost tolerant.

The Angular Ziera is grown for its bright pinkish flowers and is planted in small gardens or bushland settings as a specimen or along low borders. It is suitable for coastal regions growing in heath and is an excellent container plant for a sunny patio. It establishes in 2 to 3 years and is used in roof gardens. ID 2604
