Queen's Wreath / Sandpaper Vine (Petrea volubilis)

A rare glimpse of sunshine today and decided to outplant my extra Queen's Wreath (Petrea volubilis) or commonly known as Sandpaper Vine.  



This is one of the best flowering climbers can grow on porch, arch, pergola, wall or even on small trees.



The Sandpaper Vine have attractive pale blue to violet, star-shaped flowers which drape down from the woody climber. Although the flowers are short-lived, the secret to its beauty lies in the long lasting petal-like, violet calyces which persist even after the flowers have fallen. 😍🌱💕



Planting materials are currently under propagation at BORIS PRIVATE SANCTUM.
