Boronia crenulata 'Pink Passion'

 

Boronia 'Pink Passion'

Boronia are Australian evergreen plants with very fragrant bell-shaped or cup-shaped (depending on the variety) flowers. The plants are frost-tender, and in cooler climes are suitable for growing in a frost-free greenhouse or conservatory. Boronia crenulata has small aromatic leaves and bears cup-shaped lilac-pink flowers in late Winter and early Spring - or, where the climate suits them, can flower all year round. 'Pink Passion' bears pink flowers

Planting

From Early Spring TO Late Spring

Plant in lime-free, neutral to acid, fertile, moist, free-draining soil in full sun or partial shade, or, if in an area where frost is a possibility, plant in a container containing ericaceous compost, and place the container in bright light - but if under glass, protect from scorching sun.

 

Flowering

From Late Winter TO Early Spring

The very fragrant, 4-petalled cup-shaped or bell-shaped flowers appear in late Winter to early Spring

 

Propagating by cuttings

From Late Summer TO Early Autumn

Take semi- ripe cuttings from this season's growth in Autumn. Cut neatly, just below a leaf node, a 5" approx. piece of a healthy shoot that has soft growth at the tip. pinch out the growing tip, and cut off the bottom leaves. Dip the bottom of the cutting in hormone rooting powder, and carefully place in a pot of cutting compost with the leaves just above the level of the compost. Water, label, cover with a polythene bag, and place in a warm, bright place, out of direct sunlight. Take the polythene bag off periodically for a while for ventilation (at least twice a week)
