Product description

Hoya 'Rebecca' is one of those plants that quietly earns a permanent spot in your collection. Originally created as a hybrid between Hoya lacunosa 'Langkawi Island' and Hoya obscura, it combines the compact foliage and free-flowering nature of its Lacunosa parent with the vibrant sun-stressing inherited from Obscura. While I first bought it simply because it shares my name, it has become one of my personal favorites. It grows quickly, develops gorgeous red new growth under bright light, and its subtle veining gives the foliage beauty even when it's not in bloom. If you're looking for a hoya that's both easy to grow and rewarding to display, Hoya 'Rebecca' is hard to beat.
