I live in the Blue Mountains where they do really well and grow wild. They need really good drainage - use a slow release fertiliser in spring.
Pick some of the flowers to keep a good shape to the bush. Scale insects like them so watch for that.
This pic is of my back yard - the waratah is on the far left - the Italian lavender and bottlebrush thrive here as well.
