It grows to between 80cm and 1m tall and wide, with small aromatic evergreen leaves, and it flowers from late winter into early spring when little else is in colour. Bred at Kings Park and Botanic Gardens in Perth, it is a tidy plant for pots and borders alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy you'll love it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlowers that face you.\u003c\/strong\u003e Most boronia bells hang down.
