About

Boronia is one of Australia's most celebrated native genera — a group of over 160 species of small, evergreen shrubs in the Rutaceae family, cousins to citrus plants, known above all else for producing some of the most extraordinarily fragrant flowers in the botanical world. From the intoxicating brown-and-yellow bells of Boronia megastigma — used commercially in fine perfumery and essential oil production — to the vivid magenta cascades of Boronia heterophylla and the soft pink clusters of Boronia muelleri, spring brings these remarkable plants into their full, unforgettable glory. We'll be honest: Boronia has a reputation for being demanding, and that reputation is partly deserved. But the gardeners who understand Boronia's needs — perfect drainage, cool root runs, morning sun with afternoon shade, low-phosphorus soil, and regular post-flowering pruning — are rewarded with spectacular flowering plants that rival anything in the spring garden. Grafted Boronia cultivars now available in our range offer significantly improved resilience and longevity compared to seedling-grown plants. Every plant is backed by our 30-day grow guarantee and delivered fresh from Melbourne to your door across VIC, NSW, QLD, SA, and ACT. What Is Boronia?

The feature that defines Boronia above all else is fragrance. While individual species vary in their aromatic intensity, Boronia megastigma (Brown Boroni
