Boronia crenulata ‘Pink Passion’

Botanical Name: Boronia crenulata

Common Name: Boronia

Average Height (cm): 50

Average Width (cm): 50

Description:

This sweet little shrub is one of my favourite Boronias as it is easy to grow provided you can keep it well watered. It has aromatic foliage and masses of small pink flowers for most of the year.

Garden Design Uses:

This sweet flowering native plant is most useful is shaded places. I grow this in pots where it doesn’t get direct sun, such as the south side of a house or shaded courtyard or balcony. Provided you can keep it well watered it will flower for months and months in those conditions and is quite low fuss.

Care:

Prefers moist soils under partial shade. Requires regular watering and benefits from pruning after flowering to maintain a compact habit.
