About

Boronia fraseri, commonly known as Fraser's boronia, is a plant in the citrus family occurring near Sydney in Australia. It is an erect, multi-branched shrub with pinnate leaves and pink flowers arranged in small groups in the leaf axils.

How to grow it

Well drained soils with part shade are advised for cultivation. Boronia "Telopea Valley Star" is a hybrid between this species and Boronia mollis, which is hardier and has been grown in Australian gardens.

Where it grows

Unlike many Boronia plants, Fraser's boronia prefers moist gullies and rainforest areas, often on soils based on Narrabeen sandstone and is found mainly in the Sydney region but also occurs in the Blue Mountains.
