Wisteria is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae. The genus includes four species of woody twining vines that are native to China, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, southern Canada, the Eastern United States, and north of Iran.
Wisteria sinensis, commonly known as Chinese Wisteria, is surely the most distinctive of climbers and by far the most captivating when in bloom. Bearing large pendent clusters of fragrant violet-lavender flowers in late spring to early summer, they arise from bare stems; the foliage appears once the flowers are over. The dramatic flowers have an intoxicating fragrance and cascading flower clusters grow to about 30cm in length and are borne in abundance, with each one on the plant blooming simultaneously. Chinese wisteria looks fabulous grown traditionally over a wall of a house or garden building or trained over a strong pergola. It can also be trained as a standard tree or allowed to scramble through a large tree where it looks most spectacular as well as being maintenance free. It is the ideal bonsai subject. The fragrant powder blue flowers hang majestically if the plant is displayed on a shelf or pedestal. Its ‘climber’ habit allows ‘windswept’ pendulous and other exciting shapes. Wisteria sinensis alba is a white flowering variety.
