Hoya 'Krimson Princess'

KRIMSON PRINCESS was Cobia's trade name for Hoya carnosa 'Rubra', patented in 1972 as a sport of 'Tricolor' (sold as Krimson Queen), with the variegation in the leaf centre instead of the margin. Growers report it is as easy as green carnosa but needs bright indirect light to keep the pink new growth and inner variegation.
