Hoya carnosa 'Krimson Queen' D12

Hoya carnosa 'Krimson Queen' is the selection with marginal variegation. The center of the leaf remains green, the edge is cream or white, and new shoots may emerge pink. The growth habit is climbing or trailing, with flexible vines. Under good growing conditions, it produces star-shaped, pink-and-white umbels with a darker corona and a sweet fragrance. It is an easy-care houseplant with vigorous growth. A plant valued 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 one vine to another. Some leaves may be almost entirely cream. The degree of development and branching varies depending on the season and batch, and the photos are for informational purposes only.

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