Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Hoya lauterbachii is one of the largest Hoyas in existence and is phenomenal in its color, form and fragrance. Each individual bloom measures three inches across, the size of a small coffee cup. The entire cluster has 7-8 individual blossoms measuring close to the size of a soccer ball. The reddish-coppery flowers have a cream-colored center and a delicious fragrance, much like the scent of chocolate candy wrappers. Flowering starts once the plant is mature, 6' to 8' of vine. But once it reaches maturity this hoya will never cease to amaze you. This easy-to-grow vigorous climber is robust and needs support. Grow on a trellis, train on stakes or give plenty of room to ramble around. Some direct sunlight with periods of dryness works best.
