Amethyst Falls Wisteria Vine - 4" Pot

Never Stops Blooming. Double-powder blue flowers arise in late spring, early summer and again in late summer. Unlike the more common Asian wisteria, you will be pleasantly surprised by the less aggressive nature of this American vine. Considered by some to be a dwarf wisteria, ‘Amethyst Falls’ Wisteria frutescens has smaller leaves and smaller flowers than its exotic Asian relatives. Once this plant is established, it can climb 18 feet to 20 feet high and has a spread of 10 feet to 15 feet wide. Powder-blue flowers in racemes up to 6 1/2 inches long. It blooms heavily and frequently, producing a second, smaller display in late summer. These potted plants are cutting-grown from flowering wood to ensure bloom at an early age. A rapid, vigorous grower to 30 feet, perfect for creating a spectacular show on a pergola or against a wall. These tough, drought-resistant vines require minimal care and don't even need to be fertilized. Plant in a sunny location near a strong support. Prune after flowering and again in late winter if you wish to control its size. Wisteria are easy to train into standard or "tree" form. Just attach the trunk of the plant to a sturdy 5- or 6-foot stake and trim all but the topmost branches. Prune as needed to keep the vine in bounds. The goal is to achieve a bushy top growth that is supported by the vine's trunk. Remove the stake once the standard is established. Immediate shipping 4" Pot, not in bloom. Dormant shipping in winter/early spring.
