Wisteria is a stunning deciduous vine known for its cascading clusters of fragrant, pea-like flowers that bloom in shades of purple, lavender, white, or pink in spring and early summer. Its long, hanging flower clusters can grow up to a foot or more in length, creating a dramatic and romantic effect when draped over pergolas, arbors, trellises, or fences. The lush green foliage fills in after flowering, offering shade and coverage through the warmer months. Wisteria adds an old-world charm to gardens and is often used to create dramatic floral entrances or outdoor rooms.

This vigorous vine thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, performing best in USDA Zones 5 through 9. Once established, it is drought-tolerant and requires little care beyond occasional pruning to control its growth and encourage flowering. Wisteria is a long-lived plant that can take a few years to bloom when young, but once it begins flowering, it becomes a reliable and breathtaking addition to the landscape. With proper support and regular maintenance, Wisteria transforms outdoor structures into living sculptures of color, fragrance, and form.

Spring

"My mother had a Wisteria along an arbor, it was so full and lush, the bees loved it. We would sit on her swing under the arbor and listen to the bees. Was wonderful and smell as soothing."

"These are sooo cool! They smell like grape soda from back when we were kids. They grow really well in the full sun as well. They don't attach themselves to the wall so you'll need a way to help them climb and stay on the wall. "
