Boronia Lutea 140MM

Boronia megastigma 'lutea'

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

Habit Shrub - Fragrant Flowers
Plant family Rutaceae
I am a yellow flowering form of the hardy Brown Boronia. A compact evergreen shrub with fine aromatic green foliage with a profusion of hanging cup shaped soft lime-yellow uniquely perfumed flowers in spring. I make a great cut flower where my scent will not go unnoticed. Deceptively hardy for my delicate form I cope well with a range of soils and conditions. I am a great choice for areas where people brush past to enjoy my scent year round. I enjoy consistent moisture and dislike my roots drying out.
I am popular and will make you happy because...
My flowers have a delightful fragrant aroma
I produce a profusion of yellow flowers in late winter to early spring
I am ideal for native gardens, rockeries and containers
