The specific epithet urvilleana commemorates the 19th century French explorer and botanist Jules Dumont d'Urville.[3]
With a minimum temperature of 3 °C (37 °F), it requires some winter protection, and in temperate areas is often grown in a conservatory. However, it can also be grown outside in a sunny, sheltered spot.[4] It has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.[2]
