Lipstick Plant 'Black Pagoda'

Lipstick Plant 'Black Pagoda' is the moody one: long trailing stems of olive-green leaves mottled with near-black markings, like camouflage, with bronze undersides. It does not need flowers to be the most interesting plant on the shelf - though it makes those too, clusters of yellow-green tubes in dark calyxes.

Do not confuse it with our Curly Lipstick Plant. That one is green corkscrews and red blooms; this one is a different species entirely, grown for foliage that looks painted. It trails long and full from a hanging pot.
