Wisteria frutescens 'Amethyst Falls'
Features and Where to use
Few garden wonders out awe the Wisteria vine when in full bloom. Walking under a trellis of its cascading light purple, slightly fragrant flowers is breathtaking. Amethyst Falls blooms earlier in it's maturity than some other varieties, so you don't have to wait years and years to get a great show. Although Amethyst Falls is a fast grower, it isn't extremely aggressive so it won't need too much maintenance. Trim lightly after flowering to promote reblooming.
