English Gardening

'Lady Courteney devoted herself to gardening.The bags came out from London laden with bulbs and cuttings and soon there sprang up around the Legation a luxuriant English garden; lilac and lavender, privet and box, grass walks and croquet lawn ,rockeries and wildernesses,herbaceous borders, bowers of rambler roses, puddles of water-lilies and an immature maze'....

Petrea volubilis, Purple Wreath

Petrea volubilis
  Purple Wreath 

Named after Horticulturist Lord Robert Petre (1713-1742) and hailing from Mexico and Central America this is a spectacular climber for warm temperate and sub-tropical gardens.

Apart from the magnificant display of purple flowers, the leaves add a textural element for enhancing the enjoyment of visually impaired garden visitors at any time of the year as the leaves are large and sandpapery to touch.

I have found it slow growing to start with but once established it is hardy and robust and not fussy as to soil type or moisture.

2017 update: I currently don't have any stock available.
