Hoya Mathilde Splash

HOYA MATHILDE SPLASH

This great Hoya has incredible dark-green, large-oval, almost-round, lightly speckled leaves and rounded hanging clusters of light to pale pink, star-shaped flowers, centred with contrasting purplish-red. In fact, this drought-tolerant Hoya is a great houseplant recommended for even beginner gardeners.

Everything about this cultivar is delightful, from its petite silver-splashed leaves to the gentle sweet fragrance of its baby pink flowers. Flowers early and often.
