➜ Boronia is best processed immediately upon arrival and should ideally not remain dry-packed for longer than 24 hours

➜ Give stems a fresh cut and allow 2–3 hours of hydration before designing, keeping buckets filled with clean, fresh water

➜ The fragrance becomes more noticeable as the stems warm up, so store boronia in the cooler until you're ready to begin production

➜ Handle flowering stems gently while processing—the fine branching and delicate blooms are easily disturbed by rough handling

➜ Pair boronia with other premium garden flowers like ranunculus, sweet peas, anemones, garden roses, hellebores, and flowering branches to let its natural character shine

➜ Recut stems and refresh the water if storing for several days, helping maintain strong hydration throughout production

➜ Design as close to your event as practical during warmer weather, especially for outdoor weddings and installations

➜ A little goes a surprisingly long way—use a few thoughtfully placed stems to carry both texture and fragrance throughout the arrangement

➜ Avoid displaying boronia near strong heat sources or direct afternoon sun, which can shorten the life of the delicate blooms

➜ If you're introducing customers to boronia for the first time, encourage them to gently smell the blooms before designing—its rich, sweet fragrance is one of the flower's most memorable qualities

Is boronia supposed to have such a strong fragrance?
➜ Yep, completely normal—boronia is naturally aromatic, and its sweet, citrus-like fragrance is one of the main reasons designers love using it

Will boronia hold up in outdoor displays and events?
➜ Yes, but be cautious—boronia performs best in cooler conditions and may dehydrate more quickly during hot, sunny events

Why are some tiny flowers falling off?
➜ A small amount of flower drop can occur after shipping or handling—excessive bloom drop is usually a sign that the stems have become too dry

Can I use boronia as a filler flower?
➜ Absolutely—designers often use boronia to add texture, fragrance, and soft movement throughout bouquets and garden-style arrangements

Why doesn't my bunch look as full as the photos online show?
➜ Boronia creates its signature look through lots of fine branching rather than large blooms—professional designs often use multiple stems together for a lush, airy effect

Will boronia continue opening after arrival?
➜ Not dramatically—most stems are harvested with the majority of their flowers already developed, though some buds may continue opening after hydration

Is boronia considered a specialty flower?
➜ Absolutely—its seasonal availability, fragrance, and unique appearance make it a sought-after product among designers
