Petrea (Petrea volubilis) is a stunning tropical climbing plant admired for its cascading clusters of star-shaped, violet to purple-blue flowers. Often called Queen’s Wreath or Sandpaper Vine, it gets its nickname from the rough, textured leaves that feel like sandpaper to the touch. This vigorous vine can cover trellises, fences, or pergolas beautifully, creating a striking waterfall of color during its blooming season. Petrea thrives in warm, sunny conditions with well-drained soil, making it a favorite ornamental plant in tropical and subtropical gardens.
