Japanese wisteria is a stunning deciduous climbing vine celebrated for its cascading, fragrant purple flower clusters in spring. It requires a very sturdy support structure such as a pergola or arbor, and benefits from twice-yearly pruning to keep its vigorous growth under control. Plant in full to partial sun with fertile, well-draining soil and be patient — it may take several years before flowering begins.
