It is widely cultivated, both as an ornamental plant and as a medicinal plant.

The seeds are also edible, and can be used as a caper substitute. It grows 30cm to 60cm in height, should be spaced 20cm to 30cm apart in full sun to part shade and will flower during late summer adding brilliant flashes of colour to the garden.
