The Cascading Wax Vine
This rare Hoya variety from the Philippines is prized for its unusually long, slender leaves (up to 8 inches) with a semi-glossy texture and prominent veining. Unlike typical H. merrillii, this form produces pendant clusters of star-shaped, pink-white flowers with a sweet coconut fragrance.
