Name that Hoya

16 years ago

So, I purchased this hoya online about 6 weeks ago, and I didn't know anything about hoyas at the time. They had it listed as a Strawberries and Cream Wax Plant, and I'm fairly certain it's a Hoya Carnosa, but I have no idea which variety. Can anyone help me identify it? (My camera is brand new, and I have no idea how to turn off the flash)

That is a Hoya carnosa 'Tricolor'. It used to be called 'Krimson Queen' but many people on here still call it KQ. I used to have one but gave it away. Congrats on your new hoya!

Ok, thank you very much! I had thought that it was a Krimson Princess at first, and then I saw an old post on here and thought it was a Krimson Princess, and then I read about Tricolors and grew really confused, lol. I just can't wait for it, or my Chelsea to bloom! My Chelsea is about twice the size of the other.

It's STILL called Krimson Queen, we tend not to adopt the EA names like Tri-color.
