Plant description
Hoya lanceolata subsp. bella enchants with its perfectly formed blooms, each centred with a striking lilac-pink corona that floats above the lush, fleshy green foliage.

Please note that the pot in the photograph is not supplied with the plant (which is sent out in a simple nursery alternative), unless ordered as an option.
