Blue Japanese Wisteria Vine 5 Seeds - Hard to Find!
Japanese Wisteria (Wisteria floribunda). Japanese wisteria was brought
from Japan to the United States in 1860 by George Rogers Hall. Since
then, it has become one of the most highly romanticized flowering garden
plants. It is also a common subject for bonsai, along with Wisteria
sinensis(Chinese wisteria)
The flowering habit of Japanese wisteria
is perhaps the most spectacular of the Wisteria family. It sports the
longest flower racemes of any wisteria; they can reach nearly half a
meter in length. These racemes burst into great trails of clustered blue
flowers in early- to mid-spring. The flowers carry a distinctive
fragrance similar to that of grapes. Japanese wisteria can grow over 30m long over many supports via powerful clockwise-twining stems. The foliage consists of shiny, dark-green, pinnately compound leaves 10-30cm in length. The leaves bear 9-13 oblong leaflets that are each 2-6 cm long. It also bears brown, velvety, bean-like seed pods 5-10cm long that mature in summer and persist until winter. Japanese wisteria prefers moist soils and full sun in USDA plant hardiness zones 5-9. The plant often lives over fifty years.
