Origin

Boronia 'Lorne Pride' is a form of B. mollis found at Lorne near Laurieton NSW. It is a dense rounded shrub growing to a height of about 2m. Cultivar first received by the Authority 21 October 1977.

Characteristics

The deep pink flowers are produced profusely in late winter and through into spring. Occasional flowers are produced throughout the rest of the year. The clusters of flowers are borne in the leaf axils. Diagnosis: Boronia 'Lorne Pride' is distinct from other forms of B. mollis because of its rounded and compact, much branched habit.
