The plant showcases a beautiful arching habit, and blooms in late spring and early summer with bright lavender-purple clusters of tubular flowers surrounded by light green leaves.

watering
Queen's wreath should be watered deeply and evenly once a week, especially during the warmer months when the plant is actively growing. Allow the soil to dry slightly between watering, as this species does not like soggy soil. During dormancy in the winter months, water lightly about every 2 weeks. Keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy.
sunlight
Queen's wreath (Petrea volubilis) is a vigorous, climbing evergreen vine that thrives in full sun locations. It does best with 8 to 10 hours of direct sunlight daily during the growing season. The vine needs sun for blooming and growth. If your yard does not offer that amount of sun, you can position the plant to face a southern or western exposure.
pruning
Queen's Wreath (Petrea volubilis) should be pruned back annually in late winter or early spring, when the plant is still dormant. Pruning should be done lightly, cutting back long stems to their desired length of 3-4 feet, and removing any dead, damaged, or thickly entwined stems. Pruning helps promote air circulation, prevents overcrowding, and encourages flower production in spring.
