Petrea volubilis, commonly known as purple wreath, queen’s wreath or sandpaper vine, is an evergreen flowering vine in the family Verbenaceae, native to Tropical America, that is valued especially for its display of violet flowers.
Petrea Volubilis is one of the most distinct and beautiful vines. A fast-growing plant with star-like flowers. It is often grown as an ornamental in the tropics.
In temperate climates, Petrea volubilis prefers full sun and can tolerate shade, although it will not flower profusely.
