Hoya Heuschkeliana variegata 10cm pot
The Hoya heuschkeliana ‘Variegata’ is a charming, compact trailing Hoya prized for its beautiful variegated foliage and unusual, fragrant flowers. Its small, fleshy leaves display a delightful mix of green, cream and soft yellow, with new growth sometimes emerging in shades of pink.
Native to the Philippines, this miniature Hoya develops delicate cascading vines, making it perfect for hanging baskets, shelves or smaller spaces. Mature plants can produce clusters of tiny, bell-shaped flowers with a wonderfully sweet fragrance often compared to caramel or butterscotch. An attractive addition to any Hoya collection.
