Blooming Chinese Wisteria is a spectacular view. Its purple-colored clusters of flowers can add a touch of Chinese elegance to any garden.
Commonly known as Chinese Wisteria, Wisteria sinensis is a deciduous perennial trailing wine in the Legumes family. Just like its name suggests, this plant is native to China. Like all members of the Wisteria group, Chinese Wisteria is a stunning bloomer. It bears large, drooping clusters of fragrant flowers from May to June that are typically bluish-purple in color. The vine is a vigorous climber growing to 25 ft (7.5 m). No wonder this greenie needs a trellis for support! Be cautious not to consume any part of the plant, as it contains toxic compounds.
