"Hello Jane, We recently ordered some Boronia plants from you to be delivered to my sister in Pembrokeshire - we are in Australia. Just to let you know she was absolutely delighted with the plants and impressed with both their size and the perfect condition they were in. Boronias grow wild in the bush around here in Perth, but of course we can't send them to the UK! Many thanks for your prompt helpful replies to our emails - we'll certainly be ordering from you again. "

PROTEA

Despite the casualties from the winter of 2010/11 proteas are much easier to grow than many people imagine and can readily be grown outside in milder areas PROVIDING the soil is very free draining, acidic and low in nutrients (ie no fertiliser containing phosphates). Full sun and a south facing slope would be ideal. To avoid proteas getting wet feet it is helpful to plant them on a raised mound and add bark or grit for improved drainage.

Hardiness Rating

Will grow outside in milder locations - This could include plants which would survive happily in a greenhouse or conservatory if not in a mild location. If you have a sheltered spot in your garden then it may do well here.
