Boronia megastigma Purple Jared is a standout cultivar known for its intensely fragrant flowers and rich colouration. Flowering from early to mid-Spring, it produces deep burgundy, cup-shaped flowers with glowing yellow interiors. The fine, aromatic green foliage enhances its appeal, while the plant’s powerful citrus-like scent makes it a favourite for sensory planting.
Ideal for pots, borders, or near paths and entrances where its fragrance can be enjoyed, it suits cottage, native, and informal garden styles.
Plant in partial shade with moist, well-draining, acidic to neutral soil. Protect from strong winds and avoid root disturbance. Space plants 0.8–1m apart to maintain shape and encourage airflow.
Mature size: Compact and tidy, growing to around 60–80cm tall and 40–60cm wide.
