Boronia

Justifiably one of the best known spring flowering shrubs, the very fragrant Brown Boronia (Boronia megastigma) is one of a genus of about 60 species native to Australia. In recent years many other species and hybrids have become available. The colour range now includes a number of bicolor forms and many with vivid pink or mauve flowers. Other common species and hybrids include the vivid cerise flowered Red Boronia (Boronia heterophylla), which can grow as high as 1.8 m. The mauve flowered Boronia denticulata and the pink Boronia fraseri, which is best known in its form ‘Southern Star’, have open starry flowers. Boronia pinnata and Boronia muelleri both have starry pink flowers and B. muelleri is also available in a white form. Boronia pilosa has deep pink flowers and is available in a very distinctive double form known as ‘Rose Blossom’. Most boronias have very fine, almost needle-like foliage but Boronia crenulata has rounded leathery leaves and looks very like a Crowea. Boronia fraseri also has slightly broader leaves.
