Description:

Queen's Wreath 'Pink' is a tropical vine known for its spectacular floral displays. It's native to Central and South America and is highly prized in gardens for its ornamental value. This perennial vine is part of the Verbenaceae family and is especially popular in warm climates.

The most striking feature of the vine is its cascading clusters of star-shaped, pinkish-purple flowers, which bloom profusely in spring and intermittently throughout the year in warmer climates. These long, pendulous racemes can reach up to a foot in length, creating a dramatic and eye-catching display. The flowers are not only beautiful but also attract a variety of pollinators, including butterflies and bees.

In addition to its flowers, the vine is known for its rough, sandpaper-like leaves, which are dark green, oval-shaped, and provide a lush background to the delicate flowers. The vine's vigorous growth habit makes it an excellent choice for covering arbors, trellises, fences, or other garden structures, providing a natural green screen or focal point in the landscape.

Queen's Wreath 'Pink' thrives in well-drained soil and requires regular watering, especially during dry periods. It benefits from occasional pruning to maintain shape and promote more vigorous flowering. In colder regions, it can be grown in containers and brought indoors during winter, as it is sensitive to frost.

This vine's combination of stunning flowers, lush foliage, and versatility in garden design makes it a favorite among gardeners seeking to add a tropical touch to their landscape. Whether used as a decorative cover for garden structures or as a standalone specimen in a large container, Queen's Wreath 'Pink' adds elegance and vibrant color to any garden setting.
