Hoya thomsonii 'Pink' - jasmine scent

Hoya thomsonii 'Pink' is a selection of the accepted species Hoya thomsonii, an epiphytic or lithophytic vine native to the subtropical region stretching from Tibet to northern and northeastern Myanmar, including Assam. The foliage is oval, velvety and pubescent, grey-green, with irregular silver markings. The Pink label refers to the star-shaped, hairy flowers, sold for their pink corolla. They are fragrant; the title retains the commercial jasmine note. Pink is not a separate taxon; it is a sales label referring to the flower colour.

Foliage and growth. The foliage is oval or oblong, matte and covered with fine hairs, giving it a velvety appearance. The base colour is grey-green; when present, the silver markings are irregular patterns, not variegation. Leaf size varies from one node to another. The stem is thin and vine-like and can be trained on a support or left to trail.

Flowers and fragrance. The 'Pink' selection is sold for its star-shaped umbels with pink corollas and lighter, creamy-white coronas. The flowers are hairy and fragrant. The title retains the commercial comparison with jasmine; other horticultural notes also mention citrus or honey, so we do not promise a single fragrance profile. Flowering depends on the plant's maturity and growing conditions.

Botanical identity and origin. The accepted name is Hoya thomsonii Hook.f., published in 1883. 'Pink' remains a colour label, not a native range.

The decorative pot is not included in the price.

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