Aeschynanthus radicans ‘Thai Pink’

Description

Also know as the ‘lipstick plant’. Best namesake ever? The Aeschynanthus ‘Thai Pink’ earned its quirky common name because of the little, bright pink tubular flowers which poke out from a sheath-like calyx at the end of each trailing vine. If cared for well, vines grow quickly and easily and can reach up to 1m in length, making it an ideal plant for a hanging basket or macrame.
