Hoya carnosa ‘Krimson Queen’, also known as Hoya tricolor, is a beloved variegated wax plant featuring thick, waxy leaves with vivid creamy-white to pink margins surrounding deep green centers. This elegant climber thrives in hanging baskets, macramé displays, or as a cascading accent on shelves—perfect for indoor spaces.
🌸 Flowers
Blooms in reflexed star-shaped umbels, each flower measuring 8–12 mm across.
Petals are pale pink to creamy-white, with a vibrant deep pink-red corona, producing visually stunning clusters.
Each inflorescence holds 15–30 fragrant blossoms, emitting a sweet, evening scent.
