Hibiscus mutabilis Cotton Candy: blooms start as pure white flowers and change color over three days, from white to deep pink, and finally to a dark "blue-pink" hue. The large blossoms, up to 5 inches across, are unique because their color cycle occurs independently on each bloom, creating a stunning display of all three colors on the bush at once!

The Royal Snow White that everyone loves. A Top Tropicals Garden Blog post.

The Royal Snow White that everyone loves

👑 The Royal Snow White that everyone loves

  • 👻 This snow white sister of Petrea volubilis (Queen's Wreath or Sandpaper vine) that we mentioned earlier is called Petrea glandulosa Alba, or White Queen's Wreath.

  • 👻 It is a rare variety of Petrea. Unlike its purple cousin, it boasts clusters of snow-white, pinwheel-shaped flowers that cascade gracefully, resembling a delicate white wisteria.

  • 👻 These blooms appear from late winter through spring, creating a stunning display that will captivate any onlooker. The tall clusters of flower can be reaching over 1 foot long!

  • 👻 Its lush green, sandpaper-like leaves provide a perfect backdrop, enhancing the contrast with the brilliant white flowers.

  • 👻 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 vigorous vine has woody stems and requires sturdy support, such as a fence or large trellis, to showcase its full beauty. It grows fast and can cover a large fence within just a couple of seasons.
