Lipstick Plant ‘Twister’ (Aeschynanthus radicans)

Lipstick Plant ‘Twister’ is a distinctive tropical houseplant prized for its unusual curled and twisting foliage, cascading stems, and colourful tubular flowers. Its contorted leaves give the plant added texture even when it is not in bloom, while the characteristic Lipstick Plant flowers provide a vibrant contrast against the glossy green foliage.

Part of the Aeschynanthus genus, Lipstick Plants are tropical epiphytes native to parts of Southeast Asia. ‘Twister’ develops long, trailing stems that make it particularly well suited to hanging baskets, elevated planters, and shelves. With sufficient light and favourable growing conditions, it can produce repeated displays of its distinctive tubular blooms.
