Boronia crenulata 'Rosy Splendor' is a 2002 University of California Santa Cruz Arboretum Koala Blooms Introduction. It is the big cousin to Boronia 'Shark Bay' with more seasonable bloom and longer flowering stems but the long bloom season of 'Shark Bay' made it overwhelmingly more popular and so we discontinued growing 'Rosy Splendor' plant in 2009 in favor of it - see Boronia crenulata 'Shark Bay' for more information on this plant.
