M. laxa is native to southern Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, and northern Argentina.

Masses of heavily scented white flowers are produced in the summer.

[3] As it is not fully hardy and does not survive being frozen, in temperate zones it must be grown with the protection of glass, in an unheated greenhouse or conservatory.

In the United Kingdom it has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
