PURPLE WREATH
(V) Petrea volubilis. Marvellous clusters of long eyecatching deep mauve racemes with lasting lighter mauve calices. This is a climber from tropical America. The racemes are long lasting added to by the longevity of the calices. Good for pot culture. It has strong woody stems with large leaves that have the texture of sandpaper & has also been called sandpaper vine. As a freestanding shrub it has been known to stand up 4m but more often grown over a trellis. Will grow from the tropics to subtropics plus moderately cool climates if protected. Very early flowering. Full sun.
