Heaven Scent Boronia

What is the plant

A dense small shrub, which is a compact form of Brown Boronia- Boronia megastigma. This is an outstanding cut flower plant with delightful perfume. Prune straight after flowering. Needs a well drained slightly acid soil and can be short lived, but worth using as a potted plant for the wonderful scent while in bloom. Best in part shade, lightly dappled shade is perfect, also needs shelter from wind. Keep the soil moist but it dislikes being too wet. It likes a cool undisturbed root run, so some mulch is beneficial, and some rocks or a couple of bricks on the soil surface help too.

How to Care for the Plant

Water
Boronia plant care includes providing water during the growing season. It also includes feeding the shrub in spring.
Pruning
Prune after flowering to shape the shrub and encourage foliage to become dense. Tip pruning is the preferred method. When attention to these details is neglected, boronia may perform as a short-lived perennial.
Sunlight
They can live a long time if you plant them in a wind-protected location. They also grow best in an area with dappled sunshine, part sun and part shade
