Hoya krohniana 'Super Silver'
check_circle In Stock
Hoya krohniana ‘Super Silver’ is one of the most striking forms in the krohniana group, producing small heart-shaped leaves that are almost entirely coated in shimmering silver. Only delicate speckles of green show through, giving the plant a soft metallic appearance. Compact, tidy and eye-catching, this variety is a favourite for collectors who love highly variegated or unusually coloured foliage Hoyas.
