Boronia pinnata is a variable and adaptable shrub with ferny, camphor-scented leaves and star-shaped flowers, usually pale to deep pink, though white forms are also cultivated. It flowers in spring and thrives in moist, well-drained soils in sheltered, well-mulched positions.
Boronia pinnata naturally grows in forests, woodlands, and heath, often on sandy or well-drained soils. It prefers sheltered locations and naturally occurs in eastern New South Wales.
