Hoya carnosa 'Krimson Queen' D9 - 2-3 plants/pot

Hoya carnosa 'Krimson Queen' is the cultivar with marginal variegation: the center of the leaf remains green, while the edges are cream, white, or pink, and new shoots may emerge pink. Its growth habit is climbing or trailing. In good growing conditions, it produces pink, star-shaped umbels with darker coronas and a sweet fragrance. Flowering depends on the plant’s maturity and growing conditions. A plant valued for its natural beauty.

Foliage and variegation. Queen variegation is marginal, not splash and not inner-patterned. The width of the cream band, the presence of pink on new shoots, and the proportion of nearly white leaves vary from one vine to another. Some leaves may be almost entirely cream. The level of variegation is not identical across all specimens. Vine length varies depending on the season.

Flowers and fragrance. The flowers are star-shaped and grouped in umbels. The corolla is white or pale pink, with a red ring toward the center; the corona ranges from pink to dark pink. The fragrance is sweet. The scent’s shade and intensity may vary. Flowering depends on the plant’s maturity and growing conditions.

Identity. The accepted botanical name of the species is Hoya carnosa (L.f.) R.Br. The species is a climbing epiphyte or lithophyte, native from southern China to Laos and from southern Japan to Taiwan. It is not the form with inner variegation, sold as Krimson Princess, and it is not the splash form.

The decorative pot is not included in the price.
