Brown Boronia

Gorgeously scented Brown Boronia begins its flowering in late winter. 'Heaven Scent' is an improved variety of the Brown Boronia (Boronia megastigma). All boronias have fragrant foliage and flowers, but not the sweet scent of the Brown Boronia.Unfortunately 'Heaven Scent' like all Brown Boronia, is not long lived, so enjoy it for the season.

Habit

'Heaven Scent' is small to medium, and somewhat fussy shrub, 0.5m tall x 0.3m wide and more compact than the straight species. It makes an ideal potted plant which can be positioned near windows and doors for maximum enjoyment of the perfume.

Conditions

In the garden, boronia prefers slightly acidic soil and excellent drainage. Plant into an open sunny position in a raised garden bed for improved drainage. Roots prefer to be cool so mulch well with stones or gravel. In a pot choose a Australian Native Plant potting mix and don't over-pot. keep your potted plant in a sunny position.

Pruning

Cut back by one third immediately after flowering.
