 Growing up I thought lilacs were the most fragrant spring
flowers. It wasn't until I moved into our current home that I
was introduced to the fragrant wisteria vine, now another spring
favorite! My wisteria vine is now in full bloom, and almost
nothing can compare to its large, fragrant purple flowers.
Wisteria is a decidous climbing vine that is very hardy. It can
grow very high and is known for its longevity. Two species of
wisteria are common: Chinese wisteria (W. sinensis), and Japanese
wisteria (W. floribunda). Both can grow to a height of 25 feet
or more. The Chinese variety bloom all at one time, and the
Japanese variety bloom gradually over a period of weeks.
