Queen's Wreath is a tropical, perennial vine in the verbena family (Verbenaceae). The species is native to the American tropics (doubtfully including Florida). The leaves have the texture of sandpaper. It is semi-evergreen dropping leaves in colder climates. It is highly drought and wind tolerant and moderately tolerant of salt making it a good choice for coastal landscapes. This vine does need a support structure and looks great climbing over a fence or up a trellis.
