Description There are several species of this small evergreen shrub, e.g.: Sydney Boronia (B. ledifolia) Brown Boronia (B. megastigma) Native Rose (B. serrulata) The flowers are attractive and delicate - mostly pink, brown and yellow - and have a spicy, heavy fragrance. The most treasured is the Brown Boronia, a fragrant slender bush up to 1 metre tall. The leaves are narrow and simple and the flowers are small, purplish brown on the outside and yellow inside.
Growing Boronias make excellent container plants and are best suited for warm coastal climates. In the open garden they often fail if the soil is unsuitable. They are best grown in a gritty, sandy loam mixture. All Boronias prefer well drained, slightly acid sandy soils similar to those of their natural habitat. Liken their position to their natural state in the bush. Half sun to semi-shaded areas, growing under trees and shrubs with lots of leaf litter as mulch for the roots, which prevents the roots from being parched from the sun. Mulch with compost or leaf mould to hold moisture. Prune after flowering, and plant in a protected area of the garden with some shelter from the hot sun as experienced in areas like Perth. The only pest I have seen on Boronias is scale, and this can be controlled with an oil based product, e.g. White-Oil.
