The Black Pataga Lipstick Plant is a stunning trailing or hanging plant known for its glossy, dark green leaves and striking tubular flowers. The flowers are usually deep red to almost black on the outer petals with a bright, contrasting lip — hence the name “lipstick plant.” This cultivar stands out for its darker, more dramatic flower coloration compared to typical lipstick plants, making it a showstopper in any indoor or shaded outdoor space.
The plant’s trailing growth habit makes it perfect for hanging baskets, shelves, or as a cascading accent in mixed plant displays.
Prefers bright, indirect light.  Can tolerate some morning sun but avoid harsh afternoon sun which can scorch the leaves.
Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry.
Non-toxic to pets and humans, making it a safe choice for households with animals and children.
