Hoya latifolia ‘Snow Queen’ (Splash)

Hoya latifolia 'Snow Queen' (Splash) is the label for this batch of the species Hoya latifolia. The title places 'Snow Queen' alongside Splash; the splash on the foliage is a silvery pattern on a green to creamy-white tissue. The intensity of the markings varies from one leaf to another. The leaves are broad and oval, with distinct veins. The growth habit is vining. The species' flowers are small, star-shaped, creamy-pink, fragrant, and nectar-producing. Blooming depends on the plant's maturity and growing conditions.

Foliage and splash. The blades are broad, oval, firm, with prominent venation. The silver appears as irregular spots on a green background, not as a border and not as a creamy center. Splash density varies from one blade to another. It is not 'Albomarginata' (marginal variegation), not 'Pot of Gold' (inner variegation), and not the SKU sold simply as 'Splash'.

Flowers and fragrance. The species' flowers are small, star-shaped, and grouped in umbels. The shades may range from cream to pale pink. Blooming is not guaranteed. Blooming depends on the plant's maturity and growing conditions.

Identity. The sales name remains Hoya latifolia 'Snow Queen' (Splash). The title combines a selection name with the descriptor Splash; splash does not mean variegation. Similar material also appears as Hoya macrophylla Snow Queen; Hoya macrophylla Wight is an illegitimate synonym of this species, while Hoya macrophylla Blume is a different name. The title will not be changed.
