Best planted in full sun in a well-draining soil. It is drought tolerant and cold hardy to about 28° degrees F and with later flowering there is less likelihood flowers are damaged from frost though it is overall not quite as cold hardy as most other wax varieties. It responds well to pruning and is a nice cultivar for late flower arrangements. With this later flowering, this plant is useful for Mother's Day Bouquets.

Chamelaucium is a genus from southwestern Western Australia. The name for the genus is thought to come from the Greek words 'chamai' meaning "dwarf" and 'leucos' meaning "white", though the reasoning for this is unknown. Another possibility suggested is that the name is derived from the Latin word 'camelaucum' which was the name used for the headgear of medieval Popes. One would have to have a crystal ball to ask the French botanist René Louiche Desfontaines what he meant when he first ascribed the name in 1819.

Chamelaucium 'Lady Stephanie' is one of a group of hybrids, often referred to as 'FXU' which were the result of crossing Chamelaucium uncinatum with a plant called Chamelaucium' Walpole', an unnamed species which has wrongly been called Chamelaucium axillare. 'Lady Stephanie' and other named hybrids of this parentage arose as chance seedlings in a garden in Mildura in north-west Victoria, Australia. We grew this nice cultivar from 1993 until 2013.
