Boronia Plum Bells

Common Name:
Boronia ‘Plum Bells’

Description:
Boronia ‘Plum Bells’ is a compact, evergreen shrub prized for its stunning deep plum-purple, bell-shaped flowers that appear in abundance from late winter to spring. The fine, aromatic green foliage adds to its ornamental appeal, releasing a pleasant fragrance when touched. This Australian native is an excellent choice for garden beds, mixed borders, rockeries, and container planting, where its vibrant floral display can be fully appreciated.

Thriving in well-drained, sandy or loamy soils, Boronia ‘Plum Bells’ prefers a part-shade position to protect it from excessive heat. It requires regular moisture and benefits from light pruning after flowering to encourage a bushy, compact habit. Although Boronias can be short-lived, proper care, including consistent watering and sheltering from harsh sun, will help extend their lifespan. Its striking colour and fragrance make it a standout feature in any garden.
