Hypoestes ‘Hippo Rose’

Hypoestes ‘Hippo Rose’ is a deep, vibrant pink with dark green speckles

If you’re looking for a colorful foliage plant to add to your collection take a look at ‘Hippo Rose’. This is a new spin on the old-fashioned polka dot plant—the Hippo series is more vigorous, with a larger plant size and better coloration on the leaves. As you can see, these are deep green with a rich rose-pink overlay. Striking.

An upright habit and medium height make ‘Hippo Rose’ a versatile design tool. We use it in sun-to-shade container combos as a thriller, of course, as well as filler, and as a pop of color in shade areas of the landscape. Pair it with chartreuse foliage or ferns, or with some bright Supertunias. It’s also popular with consumers as a houseplant and has a long shelf life at retail as a foliage selection.

Hypoestes ‘Hippo Rose’ is available in the 6-inch pot.
