Hoya carnosa 'Dark Pink'

Hoya carnosa 'Dark Pink' is a cultivar of the Hoya carnosa species, valued primarily for the color of its flowers. It retains the climbing habit and persistent, thick, waxy foliage characteristic of the species, making it suitable for training on a support or growing as a trailing plant. The product image shows deep pinkish-lilac flowers with burgundy centers, grouped in a dense umbel. The name 'Dark Pink' should be treated as a commercial name. The intense flower color makes it easy to notice.

Foliage and habit. The foliage is green, with fleshy, glossy leaves arranged along flexible stems. No unique foliar trait has been documented that would reliably distinguish this selection from other green forms of Hoya carnosa; its commercial appeal is the more intense flower color.

Flowers. The star-shaped, velvety flowers form rounded umbels. The exact product photograph shows pinkish-lilac corollas, with darker areas toward the base, and crowns with burgundy centers. Color intensity may vary between blooming cycles, depending on flower maturity and growing conditions.

Substrate: use an airy, well-draining mix suitable for epiphytic species. We recommend the professional substrate for Hoya and Anthurium - SG Mix.
