Hoya carnosa 'Silver Pink Ghost' – H258

Hoya carnosa 'Silver Pink Ghost' is a highly variegated selection distinguished by its silvery-white foliage, subtle green marbling, and the soft pink tones that can develop on new growth under bright conditions. This clone was selected from within our collection for its exceptionally pale foliage and unique appearance.

Unlike standard Hoya carnosa forms, 'Silver Pink Ghost' is grown primarily for its foliage. The leaves can range from almost completely silver-white through to heavily mottled silver with green flecking, creating a constantly changing display as the plant matures.
