Boronia clavata is a plant that is only known from the Great Southern Area of Western Australia around around Bremer Bay and Fitzgerald National Park. The name Boronia honors the Italian naturalist and plant collector Francesco Borone (1769 - 1794) the specific epithet is from the Latin word 'clava' meaning club in reference to the shape of the flower organs.

This plant was a 2004 University of California Santa Cruz Arboretum Koala Blooms Introduction that was available from San Marcos Growers, Rosendale Nursery, Suncrest Nursery and Monterey Bay Nursery. We grew this nice plant from 2004 until 2014 but it didn't get good recognition in the trade so did not sell that well and it was hard to keep nice looking for extended periods in containers. 

The information about Boronia clavata 'Heather Wand' 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.

Please note that after 46 years in business, San Marcos Growers will be discontinuing nursery operations by the end of 2025 and the property will be developed for affordable housing.
