Boronia Purple Jared

Common Name:
Boronia ‘Purple Jared’

Description:
Boronia ‘Purple Jared’ is a compact, evergreen shrub known for its striking deep purple, bell-shaped flowers that bloom prolifically from late winter to spring. This variety features fine, aromatic green foliage that releases a pleasant scent when brushed against or crushed, making it a favourite in sensory gardens. The rich purple flowers create a stunning contrast against the foliage, making it an excellent choice for garden beds, borders, rockeries, and container planting.

Thriving in well-drained, sandy or loamy soils, Boronia ‘Purple Jared’ requires regular watering and benefits from a part-shade position to protect it from excessive heat. While Boronias can have a relatively short lifespan, consistent moisture, light pruning after flowering, and protection from harsh sun can help prolong their growth. Its striking colour and delightful fragrance make it a standout in any garden.
