| Author's Notes | I found this plant easy to grow, and it produced many flowers. This plant requires high maintenance to stay in good shape, but the effort is well worth it. I honestly do not know the precise scientific name of this plant. It was sold as "Zebrina Red Hill" (Zebrina pendula Red Hill). The nursery no longer sells this plant, and there are few images or references to it online. I think it might be related to Setcresea pallida because it has fleshy leaves and stems. Also, the flowers are very similar, but S. pallida has a more defined, boat-shaped bract for the flower. Both have hair, but Red Hill is much hairier. They share similar growth forms, and maintenance. |
