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. 

Information displayed on this page about Boronia crenulata 'Rosy Splendor' is based on our research conducted about this plant in our nursery library as well as from information provided by reliable online resources. We also include our own observations made about it as it has grown in the nursery gardens and other gardens visited, as well how the crops of this plant performed in the containers in our nursery field.

San Marcos Growers closed for regular business at the end of 2025 as the property is being developed for affordable housing.
While our gates remain closed, we will open them by appointment so we can liquidate remaining plants, supplies and equipment. The plants remaining in the field are listed on our Live Inventory Page.
