Description

Source: leafsnap

Hoya krohniana is viewed as a rare perennial plant, native to the Philippines. People describe it as the queen of hearts because it is a small, beautiful plant with an alluring fragrance that diffuses more strongly into the air at night. The Hoya Krohniana is also distinctive for its large size, as it often reaches a height of 3 feet which most Hoyas do not reach. The plant bears silvery-green, heart-shaped leaves and some white fragrant flowers that bloom throughout the year.
