Pendant clusters of fragrant, pure white, pea-like flowers in May and June followed in hot summers by velvety, green seed-pods. This classic white Chinese wisteria looks wonderful trained as a small weeping tree. Renowned for its superior fragrance, it's an ideal, fast- growing climber for covering a sheltered, sunny wall or strong pergola.
All the Wisterias we sell are grafted, so will start to flower at a younger age than those grown from cuttings.
- Garden care: In the first season 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.
This standard plant has a 150cm clear stem beneath a 45-60cm head.
