The genus Boronia is most endemic to Australia and includes
some of the most desirable plants in our flora. Mostly, they
are small, woody shrubs of less than 1m. The flowers have four
petals, opening widely like a star. Some are bell-shaped. The
foliage is generaly aromatic and in some the flowers are highly
perfumed. They prefer shaded positions with good drainage, a
sandy soil with a heavy mulch or leaf litter to keep the roots
cool. They are also suitable for pot culture.
