Clair de Lune is a distinct cultivar. Its large olive green leaves measure up to 7 x 10 cm. It bears flowers with long tubes like triphyllas. The tubes are light salmon as are the sepals, and the corolla is orange to salmon. Clair de Lune means moonlight.

The branches are rather stiff and grow waywardly. Controlling with supports in earlier stages might be helpful. It is highly heat-tolerant and can make an attractive hanging display with its cascading flowers.
