In nature, this grows in habitats with frequent fire.  In the garden, it will grow best if you remove built-up thatch (or burn it once every few years if you can). Bunching grass in a wildflower garden. Border of walkways. This is a low plant, so best used near the front of a group planting.

Small specimen tree or an understory tree.

Retain if in the landscape. Can be used as a specimen plant in areas not subject to root disturbance.
