An elegant, fast-growing evergreen shrub indigenous to South Africa. Ideal for semi-shade or filtered sun, it produces masses of mauve to white, bell-shaped flowers in spring and summer that attract birds, butterflies, and carpenter bees. Its glossy green leaves form a lush, informal screen—perfect for small gardens, along stream banks, or in containers.
Water wise, with non-invasive roots and a soft, graceful form, the River Bell is easy to prune and thrives in shaded spots. A top choice for adding gentle colour and movement to sheltered garden areas.
