Hoya Australis

Hoya australis, commonly known as the waxvine or common waxflower, is one of the species in the genus Hoya.

• It is a vine found on rainforest margins and rocky areas, and occurs in eastern and northern Australia
• It is a popular garden plant, noted for its fragrant flowers
• A vigorous grower, we’ve found this Australia-native to be very easy to grow and happy as a hanging plant or winding up a trellis. Like all Hoyas, the australis has waxy leaves and produces clusters of star-shaped flowers. But unlike all some Hoya, the flowers of Hoya australis – creamy white with burgundy centers – are quite fragrant! A new favorite in the genus.
  

  PLANT CARE

  • Light: Perfect for bright, indirect light
  • Water: Drought tolerant. Water when the top 1-2″ of soil feels dry to the touch
  • Considerations: Use a well-draining soil, and select a planter with drainage. Pet friendly!
