Hoya australis subsp. rupicola

Hoya australis subsp. rupicola is a compact Australian native Hoya distinguished by its naturally smaller leaves and neat growth habit. It produces classic star-shaped white flowers with a soft pink centre, held in tight umbels.

This subspecies is particularly well suited to indoor growing, baskets, or training on small supports, offering a more restrained alternative to the typical Hoya australis.
