• Flowering period: June
• Flower colour: lilac with dark violet markings
• Other features: velvety, green seed-pods in hot summers; all parts of the plant are harmful if ingested

  One of the most spectacular wisterias, it bears extravagantly long clusters of fragrant, pea-like flowers in a soft shade of lilac with darker violet markings. The trusses of this Japanese wisteria are longer than average, and appear as the leaves emerge in June. The bi-coloured blooms are very beautiful, and the plant will create an eye-catching feature, when grown over a robust pergola or trained against a protected, sunny wall.
  
  All the Wisterias we sell are grafted, so will start to flower at a younger age than those grown from cuttings.
  
  
• Garden care: After planting prune back the leading shoot to 90cm (36in) above the ground. In the first growing season tie in lateral shoots and cut back sub-lateral shoots to two or three buds. During the first winter cut back laterals by one third and sub-laterals by two or three buds.
