Hoya australis 'Lisa' - mature plant, arching

Hoya australis 'Lisa' is a variegated, vining cultivar, presented here as a mature plant trained around a hoop. The oval foliage combines dark green, light green, cream, and yellow, while new leaves may display pink, red, or purple tones that fade as the plant grows. The variegation pattern varies from one leaf to another. Under good growing conditions, clusters of star-shaped, white flowers with a pinkish-red center and an intense fragrance may appear. Flowering depends on growing conditions. The vines are already trained on a support, suitable for a well-developed specimen.

Foliage and growth

The leaves are opposite, oval, smooth, and slightly fleshy. The variegation forms patterns in cream, yellow, and several shades of green. New growth often appears pinkish-red or purple before stabilizing. The intensity and proportion of the colors are not identical on every leaf. The growth habit is climbing: the flexible vines can be trained around a hoop or on a trellis.

Flowers and fragrance

The flowers are waxy and star-shaped, predominantly white, with a pinkish-red center. They are intensely fragrant and may last for approximately one week. The flowers of this cultivar are horticulturally described as smaller than those of Hoya australis subsp. australis. Flowering depends on the plant's maturity and growing conditions.

Horticultural identity

'Lisa' is an established cultivar of Hoya australis R.Br. ex J.Traill, horticulturally associated with the Hoya australis subsp. tenuipes group.

The height, including the pot, is approximately 40 cm. The decorative pot is not included in the price.
