It tolerates most well drained moderately fertile moist soils but dislikes wet soil in an open to exposed windy sunny to shaded position with high humidity and is drought and light frost tolerant.

Rangiora is grown for its foliage and fragrant flowers. It is planted in shrub borders for screening or as a background plant and is used as a small specimen tree in courtyards. It is suitable coastal or inland regions but may be difficult to establishin 3 to 4 years and is ideal for shaded positions. ID 2853
