Boronia pinnata Evergreen shrub (1 Page of 5) The Boronia pinnata plant species is found in Australia - New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania, Victoria. It is a member of the Rutaceae family. Cultivation | Propagation | General Uses Medicinal | Edible Uses Latin Name: Boronia pinnata Family: Rutaceae Author: Sm. Known Hazards: None known Mature Height: 3 Mature Width: Habitat: Mountain ranges[154].
Cultivation Notes: Requires a rich well-drained lime-free sandy soil in a sunny sheltered position[200]. One form of this species is resistant to salt spray[157].
A very ornamental plant[1], it is hardy to at least -7°c in Australian gardens[157] but this cannot be translated directly to British gardens because of our cooler summers and longer, colder and wetter winters. One report says that the plants might succeed on a wall in the milder areas of this country[166], another says that they require greenhouse protection[1] and yet another says that they can be grown outdoors in tubs during the summer but need to be bought indoors in the winter[200].
Plants can flower in their first year from seed if they are pot grown and the young shoot tips are pinched out constantly[78].
