Aeschynanthus Rasta (S)
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.
Pot size: 12cm
Height: 25-30cm
