Hoya carnosa 'Tricolor' (Krimson Princess) D9

Hoya carnosa 'Tricolor' (Krimson Princess) is the central-variegated selection: creamy yellow center, green margins. In this batch, the variegation is central: the middle area is cream or yellow, while the margins remain green. Some leaves may be almost entirely green. New shoots may emerge pink or burgundy. The foliage is thick, glossy, and oval, while the vines can be left trailing or trained onto a support. The flowers are star-shaped, pink and white, and fragrant. The pot contains 2–3 plants. Flowering depends on the plant’s maturity and growing conditions.

Foliage and variegation. The variegation is on the leaf blade, not in the form of a silvery splash. The center may be cream, yellow, or pale green, while the green band along the margin remains visible. New shoots may have a pink, red, or purple tint that fades over time. The pattern’s proportions vary from one leaf to another. Vine length and plant shape vary from one specimen to another.

Flowers and fragrance. The flowers are star-shaped, waxy, and grouped in umbels. Their color ranges from pinkish white to pink, with a darker corona. They are fragrant; the fragrance and its intensity may vary between blooms. 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. The photographs of this batch follow the central-variegation pattern. The product title has not been corrected here.

The decorative pot is not included in the price.
