Boronia cren. Pink Pearl P13

Boronia cren. Pink Pearl is a small evergreen shrub valued for its soft pink, starry flowers in spring and fine green foliage. For best results in Ireland, plant in a bright but sheltered spot with full sun to light shade, in light, free-draining, moderately fertile soil that is preferably acidic. Avoid chalky or heavy, waterlogged ground; improve drainage with grit and organic matter, keep the root zone cool with mulch, and protect from frost and cold winds. Boronia dislikes root disturbance, so plant carefully and avoid moving once established.

To help give a clear sense of scale, the stone wall shown in our photos measures approximately 265cm in height. We also use familiar garden tools as visual references: a digging fork (110cm tall) and a hand fork (30cm tall). These are included purely as size guides to help you better judge proportions when viewing the images.
