Mackaya bella is a hardy, evergreen shrub with dark green, glossy leaves.It bears, magnificent long bunches of lilac or white, trumpet-shaped flowers from early spring to November.It grows in deep shade where the flowers seem to glow in the dark. The beautiful flowers have purple streaks in them that act as landing lights to guide insects to the nectar and in the process pollinate the flower.
Mix two thirds of the topsoil with one third compost in the bottom of the hole, add one cup of bone meal or superphosphate and mix well.
An excellent garden and container subject that needs regular pruning which also induces masses of flowers.
Although it is fairly hardy it will grow in quite cold areas if planted under trees, which protect it from the cold. Even though it gets frosted it will normally come back vigorously in spring.
