Latin
name:
Aeschynanthus lobbianus
Common name:
Lipstick Plant or Lipstick Vine
Light requirements:
High
Pictured is a Lipstick plant in
full bloom. The plant derives it name from the "lipstick like
tube" that the flowers emerge from. Generally
we install Lipstick plants as a hanging plant... but they'll perform
well in any high light area as a freestanding plant, cascading over
walls or in shelf planters. Aeschynanthus
lobbianus is the most popular variety... but we have several other
varieties to choose from. |
