East Texas to Massachusetts
– Woody, twining habit
– 6-9”, drooping, fragrant,

This native Texas wisteria is smaller and less aggressive than other wisterias, making it an excellent choice for a smaller arbor or shaping into a tree. Wisterias bloom on new wood, so you can train it easily by pruning in winter when the plant is dormant. Then, in spring, enjoy the long sprays of beautiful purple flowers–perfect as a screen near a place where you sit, so that you can enjoy their fragrance. It’s also a host plant for several species of butterflies and skippers, making it a good choice for a habitat garden.
