Looking for a beautiful plant to add to your garden? Consider the Wisteria sinensis, also known as Chinese Wisteria. This woody, deciduous, perennial climbing vine can also be trained into a tree-like shape with a flattened top. Its leaves are shiny, green, pinnately compound, with oblong leaflets. Its white, violet or blue flowers are produced on 15-20 cm racemes before the leaves emerge in spring and have a distinctive grape fragrance. This plant prefers moist soil and is shade tolerant, but flowers best in full or partial sunlight. It does take up to 20 years to mature to its adult stage, but can produce beautiful blossoms for over a century. Please note that all parts of the plant are toxic if ingested. The Wisteria sinensis is a popular choice for gardeners due to its beautiful flowers, so what are you waiting for? Add a touch of beauty to your garden with the Wisteria sinensis.
