    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.

    Large 2-3 inch variegated heart shaped leaves. They produce fragrant brown flowers periodically. Very unusual and rare.

    By: Accents for Home and Garden

    The large heart-shaped foliage is edged with a broad creamy-white band. An unusual tropical vine. A vigorous variegated Heartleaf Hoya which produces clusters of fragrant light pink flowers with a maroon eye that often cover themselves in a clear honey-colored nectar (especially toward evening).
