Garden Goods Direct | Amethyst Falls Wisteria Vine

Amethyst Falls Wisteria Vine (Wisteria frutescens ‘Amethyst Falls’) is a climbing vine that produces large clusters of fragrant blooms in the Spring. It blooms at an early age, with its lightly fragrant soft purple clusters hanging down gracefully from the plant. This beautiful climbing vine grows at about a third the rate of Asian wisteria, which makes it far less aggressive and perfect for smaller spaces. Use containers for a porch or patio, train up an arbor or trellis, or train as a small free-standing flowering tree. To properly care for your Amethyst Falls Wisteria, plant it in well-drained soil with access to full sun. Depending on the heat level, it will thrive with regular watering, once or more per week. Once established, it will become much more drought-tolerant. Whereas most wisteria takes up to 5 years to bloom, Amethyst Falls wisteria often blooms within the first year of planting. This spring-blooming shrub’s impressive fragrant flower clusters are 8 inches long and attract pollinators, butterflies, and hummingbirds. It is also disease and deer-resistant, making it a popular choice for many cottage gardeners.
