A beautiful and rarely cultivated Boronia species, Boronia coerulescens is valued for its unusual bluish to mauve four-petalled flowers. Blooming in spring and early summer, the delicate flowers contrast attractively with the fine green foliage. Prefers well-drained sandy or loamy soils and benefits from protection from extreme heat and strong winds. Best grown in a sunny to lightly shaded spot with good air circulation. An excellent addition to native gardens and collectors’ landscapes. Light pruning after flowering helps maintain shape and vigour.
