Boronia Sunset Serenade

Common Name:
Boronia ‘Sunset Serenade’

Description:
Boronia ‘Sunset Serenade’ is a compact, evergreen shrub that produces an abundance of rich pink to deep magenta, bell-shaped flowers from late winter through spring. Its finely textured, aromatic green foliage releases a delightful fragrance when touched, making it a wonderful addition to sensory gardens. This Australian native is ideal for garden beds, mixed borders, rockeries, and container planting, where its striking floral display can be fully appreciated.

Boronia ‘Sunset Serenade’ thrives in well-drained, sandy or loamy soils with consistent moisture. It performs best in part shade, as extreme heat and direct sun can shorten its lifespan. Regular pruning after flowering encourages a dense, bushy habit and enhances flowering for the next season. While Boronias can be relatively short-lived, providing adequate water and sheltering from harsh conditions will help extend their lifespan.
