Overview
Queen's Wreath (Petrea volubilis), a stunning evergreen vine, boasts cascading clusters of purple flowers akin to wisteria. Blooming primarily in spring, it reaches lengths up to 40 ft. Its rough-textured leaves earn the ‘Sandpaper’ moniker. Hardy in USDA zones 9b-11, it thrives in full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil, requiring moderate water once established. Ideal for trellises and arbors, it adds a royal touch to any garden.
