Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Magnificent sweetly-scented, double, lavender-purple blossoms hang in racemes up to 12" long from this superb 20-30' vine. The flowers on this top-notch cultivar bloom somewhat later than other wisterias, extending the flower season. Pretty, soft-green pinnate leaves turn glowing yellow in the autumn. Like all wisterias, this requires a sturdy support and full sun; a stunning vine well-worth planting! S/M
