Aeschynanthus, commonly known as the Lipstick Plant, is a vibrant tropical vine celebrated for its glossy green foliage and striking tubular flowers that resemble a tube of lipstick. The blooms, typically red, orange, or pink, emerge from a darker-colored calyx, creating a bold and cheerful contrast. Ideal for hanging baskets, shelves, or window displays, the Lipstick Plant brings a cascading, tropical charm to any indoor space.
