Boronia Flamingo 140MM

Boronia hybrid 'Flamingo'

I am Boronia Flamingo. My family originated from Western Australia.

Habit Shrub - I smell great!

Plant family Rutaceae

I am a small to medium upright, evergreen shrub with long, narrow, aromatic leaves. I become completely covered with masses of pink bell shaped flowers from late winter to spring. As my flowers age they fade to white. Bred by Kings Park and Botanic Garden, I am hardy and tolerant of most soils and conditions but prefer a free draining neutral to acidic soil rich in organic matter. I enjoy a well-lit position protected from the hot afternoon sun and will perform better with consistent moisture particularly during dry spells. I am moderately frost tolerant. Give me a light prune after I finish flowering to maintain my attractive shape.

I am popular and will make you happy because...
