Boronia alata, commonly known as Winged Boronia, is an evergreen shrub native to the open woodlands and forest margins of Southwestern Australia. It typically grows to a height of 2-6 feet and a width of 3-5 feet. This plant is characterized by its winged branches and bears profuse, showy flowers that are predominantly pink, with some varieties displaying red or yellow hues, during the spring and summer months. The flowers are slightly fragrant and add a delicate aroma to garden settings.

Winged Boronia is valued for its attractive, long-lasting flowers and its ability to attract pollinators such as bees. It is often used in residential gardens for border planting or as a feature shrub due to its manageable size and ornamental appeal. While it prefers full sun or part shade, it requires well-drained soil and moderate watering, being somewhat drought-tolerant once established. It is also used for grafting purposes, with its vigorous rootstock serving as a base for grafting with Boronia pinnata, particularly for enthusiasts in England. Care should be taken to protect it from root rot and overwatering. In regions with heavy clay soils, raised beds or containers can be used to ensure proper drainage.CC BY-SA 4.0
