Wisteria floribunda

Wisteria floribunda Details

Wisteria floribunda, commonly known as Japanese Wisteria, is grown for its highly fragrant and colourful blooms. This variety produces cascading racemes of blue flowers in spring just as the new leaves appear. The foliage is lush, mid-green, and develops yellow tones in autumn before falling. This woody climber will easily reach 10 m or more but is easily contained with trimming. It performs best when planted in full sun on a well-drained site, though it is tolerant of frost, cool climates, some wind, and periods of dry. Wisteria floribunda is commonly trained along a fence, trellis, or the like and should be planted so the beauty and fragrance of this plant can be enjoyed.
