Lipstick Plant ‘Black Pagoda’ (Aeschynanthus longicaulis)

Excellent for indoor growing and perfect for hanging baskets, its cascading stems and bright orange blooms will brighten any room. The mottled foliage and shiny leaves add interest to its form. Flowers arise in clusters at the growing tips with each blossom having a coloration of deep orange-red to orange to yellow and green near the calyx. The protruding pistils add a defining accent. As is common in this genus, ‘Black Pagoda’ tolerates dryness with ease and prefers lower light. A native to tropical Asia, it flowers for us in late winter and spring.
