Petrea volubilis, Queen's Wreath, Sandpaper vine

💜 👑 Purple sandpaper? You can't get enough of this purple! And it has plenty of it: Queen's Wreath.
  • 🟣 Petrea volubilis, also known as Queen's Wreath or Sandpaper vine, is a twining vine with large, rough leaves - just like a sandpaper!
  • 🟣 But look at the flowers - spectacular Royal show! Does it remind you of a Northern Wisteria? It is actually another common name of Petrea - Tropical Wisteria.
  • 🟣 The tall clusters of purple flowers, reaching over 1 foot long 👀 are truly spectacular.
  • 🟣 Thriving in warm and humid conditions, its blooms last a couple of days, but the blue calices persist much longer, and more new flowers are coming every day.
  • 🟣 Attracts butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds 🐝
  • 🟣 This woody vine grows fast and can cover a large fence within just a couple of seasons. It's a show stopper! 👏
