  A strong growing, aromatic deciduous climber with twining stems and attractive mid-dark green leaves divided into narrow, lance-shaped leaflets. Masses of lilac-purple pea-like blooms, hang down in pendulous racemes in late spring or early summer. 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.
