Aeschynanthus Rasta
Commonly called the lipstick plant because of its tubular scarlet flowers, which are held near the tips of the trailing stems by a darker sheath-like calyx. This eye-catching plant looks great cascading over the edges of a pot - even when not in bloom! A total stunner. Comes with hooks for hanging.
** Available for collection from Saturday PM 9th March**
Pot size: 15cm
Height: 45cm
