Boronia Plum Bells 140MM

Boronia 'Moonglow' x B. megastigma 'Plum Bells'

I am Boronia Plum Bells. My family originated from Western Australia.

Habit Shrub - I smell great!

Plant family Rutaceae

I am a dainty, upright, evergreen shrub with long, narrow, aromatic leaves and completely covered with plum coloured bell shaped flowers from June to November. Bred by Kings Park I am hardy and tolerant of most soils and conditions but I enjoy dappled shade and a free draining neutral to acidic soil rich in organic matter. I will perform better with consistent moisture particularly during dry spells. I am moderately frost tolerant.

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

Bred by Kings Park & Botanic Gardens I feature masses of plum coloured bell shaped blooms winter through spring

I have slender green aromatic foliage with a delightful sweet citrusy fragrance

I make an excellent cut flower allowing my colour and fragance to be enjoyed indoors
