Hoya pubicalyx 'Black Dragon'
Hoya pubicalyx ‘Black Dragon’ is a dramatic trailing wax plant admired for its deep green to near-black foliage and richly coloured blooms. The elongated, slightly speckled leaves create a bold backdrop for clusters of star-shaped flowers in deep burgundy to almost black tones, often with a subtle fragrance that adds to its appeal.
Perfect for bright indoor spaces, it works beautifully trailing from shelves or hanging pots, or trained around a support for a fuller display. Its darker foliage and striking flowers make it an excellent choice for adding depth and contrast to tropical plant collections.
