Chinese Wisteria
Wisteria sinensis
Plant Details:
Plant Type: Climbing Vine
Plant Family: Fabaceae
Plant Description: Vigorous, twining deciduous vine that is long lived, with trunk becoming quite large. Beautiful pea-like, frangrant, lilac-blue to white flowers in dense clusters six to twelve inches long appear in late spring even before the leave foliage unfolds. Flower clusters are followed by attractive velvety pods. Needs a strong structure to climb on, and handles both sun and shade. Correct pruning is important for best plant bloom.
Maintenance:
Maintenance Type: Climbing Vine
Plant Care: Climbing Vine (climbing or trailing plants): Prune regularly to promote health, remove overly tangled branches, maintain a desirable shape, and to remove diseased or damaged branches. Pruning is best done in late
winter to early spring for most vines. With spring blooming vines, prune after the blooms are spent. Train on structures strong enough to support the vine. Some vines require more or less pruning than average depending on their growth habit.
