Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Hoya kerrii 'Variegata' has perfectly heart-shaped bright green leaves variegated with white edges. Also known as Sweetheart Hoya or Heart-leaf Hoya. Like all Hoyas (aka wax plants), clusters of star-shaped flowers will eventually emerge along the stems. Happy to climb up a trellis or cascade over the sides of its pot.. Hoya grow best in bight, indirect light and well-drained, gravelly soil that is not wet. A great houseplant! Not frost hardy.
