Description:
Hoya carnosa ‘Compacta’ , is a true conversation piece. Its tightly coiled leaves twist and fold along the vine, forming intricate, rope-like chains that drape elegantly from pots and shelves. Each leaf gleams with a waxy sheen, giving the plant a sculptural, almost otherworldly appearance.
When mature, it bursts into clusters of delicately scented blooms that look as though they’ve been sculpted from wax. The flowers exude a sweet, buttery fragrance strongest at dusk, a reminder of the tropical evenings where this plant originates.
Low-maintenance yet full of personality, the Hoya carnosa ‘Compacta’ is a collector’s staple timeless, fragrant, and delightfully unique.
