B. 'Heaven Scent'
1.5-2m x 1m; open
.5m x .3m; compact
multi-branched shrub
multi-branched shrub
flowers ca. 8-9mm diameter
flowers ca. 5mm diameter
considerable leaf drop after flowering.
less leaf drop after flowering.
The cultivar is more resistant to Boronia rust disease, is more floriferous
and the flowers are held on the plant for a longer period of time. The last
factor extends the flowering season by some weeks.
Xerochrysum bracteatum 'NN-B9892'
Small multi-branching, upright, herbaceous, perennial shrub with yellow everlasting daisy flowers.
Xerochrysum bracteatum 'NN-B9821A'
Small bushy shrub with pinkish yellow everlasting daisy flowers
Boronia heterophylla 'Cameo'
Moderately dense upright shrub, growing to about 2m tall by 1.5m wide. The foliage is a very dark green. The flowers occur in mid spring and have white petals with pale pink stripes and are fragrant.
Boronia heterophylla 'Cascade'
This cultivar is a moderately dense upright shrub, growing to about 2m tall by 1.5m wide. The foliage is a very dark green. The flowers occur in mid spring (late October to early November in Sydney), are pale pink in colour.
Brachyscome multifida var. multifida 'Evan'
This cultivar is a bushy perennial form with a cushion-like
habit 100-150mm tall by up to 400mm across. The flowers are mauve, ca 12mm
in diameter and occur from spring to autumn. The general morphology of the
plant is as for B.multifida though is smaller in all dimensions.
Diagnosis:
B. 'Evan' has flowers more similar in colour to B. multifida
var dilatata 'Breakoday'. The flowers though are much smaller, being ca.
12mm for 'Evan' and 20mm for 'Breakoday'. This is an immediate
distinguishing characteristic. The foliage also is much reduced in size.
B. multifida varies in flower colour and leaf variations and this cultivar
was selected for its distinct characteristics of compact size and flower
colour.
