Boronia megastigma ‘Jack Maguire’s Red’

If you are looking for an outstanding red flowering Boronia, then Jack Maguire’s Red’ is the one to find. Originally named ‘Uncle Jack’s Red’, this is a chance seedling of Boronia megastigma, and it has been in cultivation since 1928.

The foliage is fragrant, and this attractive plant is a real star in the garden in late winter to spring when it is in full flower. The species itself is from Western Australia, and this gives us a good indication of the best growing conditions.
