WISTERIA FRUTESCENS

AMERICAN WISTERIA

Wisteria frutescens is a member of the Fabaceae family and is native to Florida U.S.A.

and also occurs in the eastern half of the U.S.A.

American Wisteria is a wetland plant and most common at the edge of forested wetlands where it gets partial sun – or at least some shade for part of the day. It is quite adaptable, however, and can be grown in the landscape in much drier soils and in nearly full sun.

It is deciduous and remains leafless for several months during the winter. In autumn to early spring, the leaves are quickly followed by many flower buds. These are produced on last year’s growth, so it is very important not to prune these plants back in winter while they are dormant.

Each flower bud is composed of many of rich purple flowers. As this plant is in the bean and pea family (legumes).

Wisteria frutescens can be grown very effectively on a fence or trellis where its rambling growth can be maintained. It does not have tendrils, so it may have to be attached at first while it tries to find a place to cling to. Give it a some extra water during periods of extended drought and it will perform well.

HAVE GREAT ENJOYMENT FROM THIS LESS COMMON WISTERIA!
