This fine selection of our native SE Wisteria is a wonder! This cultivar is hardier, more tolerant of wet soils and a little less exuberant in its growth. Producing masses of 8-12" clusters of lilac-blue, fragrant pea-like flowers from spring into summer. This is a perfect vine for arbor, trellis or fence. S/M
