release_alert Low Stock - 2 available
Hoya coronaria ‘Gold Star’ is a warm-growing form of Hoya coronaria distinguished by its bold, sculptural yellow flowers. Each bloom has a thick, fleshy texture and a striking star-shaped outline, with a central corona in rich yellow and caramel tones. This species is known for its distinctive, almost wax-like petals and is one of the most unique Hoyas in any collection. It responds well to bright light, warmth and the simple watering routine outlined in How to Water Hoyas. Flowering is further helped by the guidance in Grow Hoyas Faster & Get More Flowers.
