Description
Aeschynanthus species SEH# This is a pendulous perennial plant distantly related to African violets and with deep red, long-tubular flowers. It is a member of the genus that gives us the “lipstick plant” – a common houseplant grown in hanging baskets. Requires well-drained soil, also good on an old log or stump. The evergreen leaves of this currently unknown species are shiny, leathery, and narrowly elliptic with a long pointed tip. I am embarrassed to admit that I have lost all the data on this collection, but I am pretty sure it was collected in Papua New Guinea. I grow it in a hanging basket. Probably best as a houseplant in most regions. Our first offering. (+32) RSBG Large blooming size plants for $32.00
