Hoya carnosa 'Krimson Queen'

Hoya carnosa 'Krimson Queen' is the marginally variegated selection. The center of the leaf remains green, the edges are cream or white, and new shoots may emerge pink. Its growth habit is climbing or trailing, with flexible vines. Under good growing conditions, it produces clusters of star-shaped, pink-and-white flowers with a darker corona and a sweet fragrance. It is a rewarding houseplant with vigorous growth. A plant admired for its natural beauty.

Foliage and variegation. The variegation is marginal, not splash or inner-patterned. The width of the cream band, the presence of pink on new shoots, and the proportion of nearly white leaves vary from vine to vine. Some leaves may be almost entirely cream. The plant's development and branching vary depending on the season and batch, and photos are for illustrative purposes only.

Flowers and fragrance. The flowers are star-shaped and waxy, grouped in clusters. The corolla is pinkish white, with a darker 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.
