Boronia heterophylla Just Margaret

Common Name:
Boronia ‘Just Margaret’

Description:
Boronia ‘Just Margaret’ is a selected variety of Boronia heterophylla, known for its vibrant pink, bell-shaped flowers that appear in abundance from late winter to spring. This small to medium-sized, evergreen shrub features fine, soft green foliage with a pleasant aroma when brushed against or crushed. It is a highly ornamental plant that thrives in well-drained soils with consistent moisture, making it ideal for garden beds, native landscapes, and containers. A part-shade position is preferred to protect it from extreme heat, though it will tolerate full sun with adequate watering. Regular pruning after flowering promotes a bushy, compact growth habit and extends its flowering potential.
