Petrea volubilis is one of the most distinct and beautiful cultivated climbers, celebrated for its long sprays of violet-white, star-shaped flowers that appear in spring. The flowers create a striking display, often likened to wisteria in their cascading form. This evergreen plant features rough, leathery leaves that contrast beautifully with its soft, elegant flowers. It needs strong support and guidance to climb, making it ideal for pergolas, arches, fences, and sunny garden walls. Perfectly suited to Cape Town’s winter-rainfall climate, Petrea volubilis is a fast grower that brings softness, height, and colour to any outdoor space.

Plant & Care
Plant Petrea volubilis in well-drained soil with strong support for climbing. Water moderately, allowing soil to dry slightly between waterings, as it tolerates short droughts. Feed monthly in summer with organic compost or bone meal, but skip fertilizing in winter when growth slows. Prune lightly after flowering to remove dead or untidy growth, but avoid heavy cutting during dormancy. Position in full sun for best flowering, though semi-shade is tolerated.
Did You Know?
The leaves of Petrea volubilis are so rough they feel like sandpaper, which is how the plant earned its common name. Despite their coarse texture, the flowers are soft and delicate, creating a striking contrast that makes this climber unforgettable.
