Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A striking vine splashed and streaked with cream! Our experience is that the speckled leaves have the strongest color in spring and the variegation fades with summer; spring brings the wonderfully fragrant lilac flowers that you expect with a floribunda Wisteria; an unusual treat for the garden.

An old Japanese cultivar grown for its yellow speckling on green leaves. Slightly fragrant flowers are in the purple-blue range. Wise to prune out green shoots to enhance the variegated effect.
