Chinese wisteria
Wisteria sinensis 'Prolific'
Overview
Chinese wisteria (Wisteria sinensis 'Prolific') is a stunning perennial climber with cascades of beautiful, fragrant, pale-lilac blooms. It's an incredibly versatile plant, ideal for covering walls, fences, arches, trellis and pergolas with its long, drooping stems. Its gray-green leaves sit in pairs along the stems. Chinese wisteria is a fast-growing, fairly drought tolerant vine that can reach up to 8m or more in height. To keep it in check, it's best to prune the long shoots twice a year - once in summer, and again in autumn. Whether in a garden or a pot, Chinese wisteria adds a wonderful splash of color and scent and is sure to wow.
