Lipstick Rasta Plant (Aeschynanthus radicans ‘Rasta’)

Lipstick Rasta Plant (Aeschynanthus radicans ‘Rasta’) is a unique tropical trailing houseplant prized for its tightly curled, glossy green foliage and brilliant lipstick-red tubular flowers. Often called the Curly Lipstick Plant, this eye-catching cultivar combines unusual foliage with spectacular blooms, making it a favourite among collectors and anyone looking for an easy-care flowering houseplant.

The thick, waxy leaves naturally twist and curl along cascading stems, creating an attractive textured display even when the plant is not in bloom. Under ideal conditions, mature plants produce clusters of vivid scarlet-red tubular flowers that emerge from dark maroon buds, resembling tubes of lipstick. The flowers appear primarily from spring through fall and are especially striking against the rich green foliage.

Lipstick Rasta Plant performs beautifully in hanging baskets, decorative containers, wall planters, plant shelves, and elevated displays where its trailing stems can cascade naturally. It pairs exceptionally well with Hoyas, Peperomias, Ferns, Philodendrons, Pothos, and other tropical houseplants, creating lush indoor displays with varied foliage textures.
