Hoya Carnosa Tri Color, 6" Pot

The Hoya plant is an unbelievably unique plant & it is unbelievably easy to grow. It comes from the milkweed (Asclepiadaceae) family. It has cascading vines & waxy, green leaves. It can be trained as a vine or grown in a hanging basket. As amazing as the foliage alone on this plant is, its real beauty comes from the clusters of wax-like, star-shaped flowers it produces. Each flower has a star-shaped set of petals (the corolla) & an inner, smaller, star-shaped flower (the corona) in the center. On the first inspection, they almost appear as if they are artificial. Each flower is so perfect looking, but one quickly recognizes that is not the case once they smell these highly fragrant flowers. The Hoya really demands attention when it flowers, & it truly is hard not to be in awe while admiring the up-to 40 small flowers adorned upon each umbrella-shaped peduncles they bloom from.
