Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Kate's Dwarf is a new selection to us and there's little information available on it. So far, it does appear to be more compact than others of the species. It is definitely blooming younger than any Wisteria we've ever seen! This is a US native (we don't offer any of the Asian, invasive species). The best show can be achieved by trimming your vine to four buds from last year's new growth just before this year's growth begins.
