Aeschynanthus garrettii Xeric with fragrantThis shrubby trailing gesneriad, a Steve Hootman collection from northern Vietnam, came to us by way of Far Reaches Farm. Deep green evergreen glossy leaves reminiscent of boxwood, 2 inch coral red tubular flowers however, look nothing like boxwood. An epiphyte in the wild this makes an excellent container plant or where it can be protected from freezing. To about 2ft x 2ft in moist well drained soil, Shade to dappled light, bright indirect indoors.
