Hoya carnosa 'Krimson Queen' D6 (fragrant)

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

Foliage and variegation. Queen variegation appears along the edge, not in the center of the leaf and not as silver splashes. The width of the cream band, the presence of pink on new shoots, and the proportion of nearly white leaf blades vary from one vine to another. Some leaves may be almost entirely cream. The level of variegation is not identical across all specimens.

Flowers and fragrance. The flowers are star-shaped and grouped in umbels. The corolla is pink or pale pink, with a darker ring toward the center; the corona ranges from pink to dark pink. The fragrance is sweet, especially in the evening. The scent’s color 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. It is a climbing epiphyte or lithophyte, native from southern China to Laos and from southern Japan to Taiwan.
