Lipstick Plant ‘Tiger Stripe’ (Aeschynanthus hybrid)

Lipstick Plant ‘Tiger Stripe’ has a wonderful cascading growth habit which lends itself to a hanging basket so it displays its colorful blooms during the dark days of the year from fall through winter. It has the flower color of Aeschynanthus ‘Tricolor’ and the flower size of Aeschynanthus ‘Pulcher,’ since these are the parents of this hybrid. The flower color is reddish- orange with dark red striping on the flower and some yellow shading. A close-up reveals small hair-like cilia on the outside of the flower. This hybrid of the late Bill Saylor is not the same as the other Lipstick Plant ‘Tiger Stripe’ that has striping on the leaves. Available in a 2.5" pot.
