    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    A rich cinnamon-scented fragrance fills the night air from the flower umbels of this small Indonesian species. Like most hoyas, this dense vining, small-leafed variety grows well in a hanging basket. Its trailing stems dangle over the pots edge and each flower umbel has several fragrant, fuzzy white blossoms. Blooming spring to fall, it re-flowers off the old spurs. This easy grower tolerates a dry atmosphere and neglectful watering.

    A low dwarf form of Hoya that trails, and whose clusters of cream-colored flowers fill the air with a very lovely perfume for most of the year. It is wonderful for a small hanging basket.
