  Fragrant, pale violet-blue, and deeper purple blooms hang in long racemes in early summer. 'Lawrence' is an award-winning, clockwise-twining deciduous climber with leaves divided into narrow, lance-shaped leaflets. Raised from a cutting, this wisteria is in flower earlier than seed-grown forms.
  
  
• Garden care: Incorporate some well-rotted organic matter and mycorrhizal fungi when planting your Wisteria and keep well-watered until established, particularly in dry summers. Prune in July to reduce the long thin green growth and again in January to further reduce these stems to encourage flower buds.
