Botanical Name: Wisteria frutescens or sinensis white cultivars
Mature Size: 15-30ft H, 6-15ft W, Variety Dependent
Light Requirement: Sun
Water Need: Medium
Cold Hardiness: Zone 5 (-20 to -15F) to Zone 9 (25 to 30F)
Description: Adapted. Vigorous, deciduous twining vines with cascading clusters of fragrant, pure-white blooms in spring. W. sinensis forms typically flower before leaf-out in mid-spring, producing dramatic, longer racemes, while W. frutescens (American) forms bloom slightly later, often after leaf emergence, with somewhat shorter but equally fragrant clusters. Attract pollinators. Both require strong support, annual pruning, and containment to prevent excessive spread; W. sinensis is potentially invasive in riparian areas, while W. frutescens is non-invasive cultivar. Both benefit from full sun, fertile well-drained soil, and consistent spring moisture to promote strong bloom. Deer resistant. Ideal for covering strong pergolas, large arbors, or expansive trellises where their weight and showy spring bloom can be featured, with frutescens forms preferred for smaller spaces or where invasiveness is a concern.
