A beautiful Western Australian native shrub, Boronia heterophylla is prized for its masses of vivid pink to deep magenta, bell-shaped flowers and attractive aromatic foliage. Flowering predominantly through spring, the blooms are borne along the slender stems and create a spectacular display against the fresh green leaves.
Flowers are suitable for cutting, making Boronia heterophylla an excellent choice for gardeners wanting to enjoy its colourful blooms both in the garden and indoors.
Growing as an upright, bushy evergreen shrub to approximately 1.5–2m high and around 1m wide, Boronia heterophylla is well suited to native gardens, mixed shrub borders, feature planting and larger containers.
For best results, plant in a well-drained position with good light and protection from harsh afternoon sun and drying winds. Boronias appreciate consistent moisture without waterlogging and benefit from a layer of mulch to help keep their shallow root zone cool during warmer weather. Light pruning after flowering can help maintain a compact, bushy plant.
