Boronia Purple Jared 140MM

Boronia heterophylla x megastigma 'Purple Jared'

I am Boronia Purple Jared. My family originated from Western Australia.

Habit Shrub - Fragrant Flowers

Plant family Rutaceae

A deep purple flowering hybrid of Brown Boronia I make an outstanding cut flower with delightful perfume. I am a dense small shrub suited to sunny or partially shaded locations. I am a magnet for bees and beneficial insects. I like a cool root run, a thick layer of mulch being beneficial to stop my soil getting hot. Prune me back by a 3rd after flowering to ensure good blooms in the next season. 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 am popular and will make you happy because...

I produce masses of highly fragrant deep purple bell shaped blooms from winter through spring

My fine green foliage is delicately scented to be enjoyed year round

I am ideal for native gardens, rockeries, borders and make a great potted plant
