Plant in full sun to part shade in a well-drained garden soil and irrigate occasionally to regularly. It is hardy to moderate frost, tolerating temperatures down to the mid to low 20s° F. Prune at flowering, using the long lasting flowers in arrangements, or shortly afterwards to keep plants attractive and bushy. As with other Boronia this plant appreciates a cooler shaded root area that mulch or other nearby plantings can provide. It also blooms well in the container.

The Australian Cultivar Registration Authority website notes that the origin of this plant is somewhat obscure. It was reportedly found in the wild in the Albany district of Western Australia in 1983 by Forest Native Nursery of Duffy's Forest, New South Wales but later registration of the plant was made in 1987, applied for by Yellow Rock Native Nursery, Winmallee in New South Wales. It is thought to have Boronia heterophylla and Boronia molloyae as parents but seems more vigorous and more tolerant of soil fungus than either parent. The name Boronia honors Italian Botanist Francesco Borone (1769-94). This plant had been accessioned as being received by the University of California Santa Cruz Arboretum in 1994. We first received this plant to trial in November 2008 from the Koala Blooms Australian Plant Introduction Program and was first released for sale in 2011. Unfortunately it was short lived in containers and so was dropped from production in 2013. 

The information about Boronia 'Carousel' that is displayed on this web page is based on research conducted in our nursery's horticultural library and from reliable online resources. We will also include observations made about this plant as it grows in our nursery gardens and other gardens that we have visited, as well how the crops have performed in containers in our nursery field. We also incorporate comments that we receive from others and welcome hearing from anyone with additional information, particularly if they share cultural information that aids others growing this plant.
