Refined succulent characterized by cylindrical stems that grow twisted, often branched but tending to prostrate towards the ground and root quickly, giving rise to a wonderful expanse of stems of an intense emerald green, shiny and shiny. The stems, unlike the other species, have almost absent ribs and little protruding and very sparse tubercles, ending in small soft denticles. As for all Asclepiadaceae, the real strength of H. recondita is its original inflorescence: 5-pointed star-shaped, the flower blooms between late summer and early autumn with its cream shades adorned with showy reddish specks and a soft whitish down that covers the petals and makes them of a truly incomparable elegance!
