"Lophospermum erubescens" has been cultivated as an ornamental climber since at least the 19th century. Joseph Paxton described its cultivation in 1836, saying that it was "a very fine creeper and deserves growing by every lover of plants". Other species that have been cultivated include "L. purpusii" and "L. scandens". Some cultivars of "Lophospermum" are available; Suntory Flowers (a division of the Japanese firm Suntory) has introduced a number under the registered name "Lofos®", with selling names such as , , (='Sunasaro') and (='Sunasashiro'). Those which are the subject of US Plant Patents are described as originating from the hybrid "Lophospermum scandens" × "L. erubescens", a hybrid known since the 1840s.
