Wisteria sinensis alba * Chinese Wisteria

I always think of blue when imagining wisteria.   That makes this a pleasant surprise for me when I see a White Wisteria.  I am taken away from my set pattern of expectations and this is what I think makes a place special.   It grows robustly and blooms profusely in the early spring.  Wisteria's are one of the most malleable plants around.  I tip prune any unwanted leaders back to two nodes, these usually flower the next year.  I remove all dead and unshapely material and am graced with sculpture when there are no leaves.
