Chamelaucium Positioning

[rhovanion]

Have just bought the above plant and it came with absolutely no care instructions. I bought it as a houseplant and was wondering if anyone can help with the sort of positioning it likes - ie. in sun on a windowsill etc. Thanks very much in advance.

It is native to Western Australia which gives an idication to the climate it likes. It prefers to be in full sun to part shade, it is fairly drought tolerant so don't over-water it and can take temperatures down to about 5 degrees so not frost hardy.

This I believe is the waxflower and I would be more inclined to plant it in the garden, in the ground or in a pot. It thrives in a well drained sunny position with plenty of water. It is popular with florists for its foliage although the numerous small flowers are a bonus.I suppose a bright unheated conservatory could also play host to this plant.
