The Congea (Petrea Pink), also called Pink Sandpaper Vine or Pink Petrea, is a rare and elegant flowering creeper admired for its profuse clusters of papery pink bracts that look like delicate blossoms. As the plant matures, the bracts change shades, creating a spectacular display of pink hues that drape gracefully over trellises, pergolas, or walls.
This evergreen creeper is hardy and thrives well in tropical and subtropical climates, making it a great choice for Indian gardens. Its soft pastel tones add a gentle, romantic charm to any outdoor space, while its long flowering season ensures continuous beauty.
