Hoya
carnosa * Wax vine |
| The flowers of the Wax
Vine look like they are fake, almost as if they
were glued on. I have trouble with Hoya carnosa surviving much below freezing. If you
can bring your plant indoors or are lucky enough to have frost free winters
Hoya carnosa is a
must have for your garden. Hoya carnosa is slow growing but can get to 20 feet or more with
consistently good conditions. The biggest flaw is that the leaves hold a long time
and when damaged they show it for most of a year. Hoya carnosa blooms in summer and
fall. I have grown it in dark conditions and still gotten blooms and on a lucky year
kept it growing in my yard in spite of our usually frosty conditions.
