Want a Fence Covered in Royal Blooms?

Petrea volubilis, Queen's Wreath, Sandpaper vine

👑 Want a Fence Covered in Royal Blooms?

😈 Petrea volubilis, also known as Queen's Wreath or Sandpaper vine, started blooming in our garden again in April. This tropical wisteria that steals the show is a twining vine with large, rough leaves - just like a sandpaper!
😈 Petrea is the ultimate tropical climber - fast-growing, bold, and breathtaking. Its rough, sandpaper-like leaves are just the beginning... the real magic is in the massive cascading clusters of royal purple flowers that can stretch over a foot long!
😈 There's also a rare white variety - Petrea glandulosa Alba - White Queen's Wreath. It features the same cascading form as the purple type, but with elegant snow-white, pinwheel-like flowers that create a soft, striking contrast in the garden.
😈 Often called Tropical Wisteria, Petrea thrives in warm, humid climates and puts on a non-stop floral display. Each bloom lasts a few days, but the blue calyxes remain, giving the illusion of continuous flowering.
😈 These flowers draw in butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds, turning your garden into a buzzing paradise.
😈 Let it climb a trellis, fence, or arbor and watch it become the centerpiece of your yard - fast!

🛒 Add the Queen's Wreath to your garden and grow your own royal display! 👑
