Hoya carnosa 'Rubra'

This hoya is just a variety of Hoya carnosa.

This hoya has almost burgundy vines and the leaves are darker green, often with white and some pink in them. The leaves on this hoya are also a bit smaller than on the carnosa. It has a twining growth and it's a rather fast growing plant.

The flowers are flat, about 1.5 cm and you'll find 20-40 flowers in each konvex umbel. The corolla is pink to dark pink and the corona is white with a red ring in the middle. These flowers don't produce very much nectar and have a nice not too strong fragrance that closest can be described as chocolate and they last about one week.
