Boronia Lipstick

Common Name:
Boronia ‘Lipstick’

Description:
Boronia ‘Lipstick’ is a stunning, small to medium-sized evergreen shrub known for its profusion of vibrant, deep pink, bell-shaped flowers that bloom from late winter to spring. The fine, aromatic green foliage adds an extra sensory appeal, releasing a pleasant fragrance when touched. This compact and bushy variety is perfect for garden beds, borders, rockeries, and pots, making it a versatile choice for Australian gardens. It thrives in well-drained, sandy or loamy soils with regular moisture and prefers a position in part shade to full sun. Light pruning after flowering will help maintain its shape and encourage new growth. While Boronia can be short-lived, providing consistent care, especially through dry periods, will help prolong its lifespan.
