Boronia megastigma Lutea

Common Name:
Boronia ‘Lutea’

Description:
Boronia ‘Lutea’ is a rare and highly fragrant selection of Boronia megastigma, distinguished by its striking golden-yellow, bell-shaped flowers. Blooming from late winter to spring, the flowers emit an intense, sweet perfume that makes this plant a prized addition to gardens and sensory landscapes. The fine, soft green foliage adds to its delicate and ornamental appeal.

This small evergreen shrub thrives in well-drained, sandy or loamy soils with regular moisture, making it ideal for sheltered garden beds, rockeries, and container planting. It prefers part shade to protect it from extreme heat, as excessive sun exposure can stress the plant. While Boronia ‘Lutea’ is known to be short-lived, regular pruning after flowering helps maintain a compact shape and prolongs its lifespan. Its exquisite scent makes it a perfect choice for placement near walkways or patios where the fragrance can be enjoyed.
