Amethyst Falls Wisteria

Amethyst Falls Wisteria is a climbing vine known for its beautiful clusters of fragrant, purple flowers that bloom in the spring and early summer. The flowers are followed by long, bean-like pods that contain seeds. The vine has twining stems that can grow up to 20 feet long and is often trained to grow on trellises, arbors, or fences. The leaves are compound, with each leaf consisting of up to 13 narrow, lance-shaped leaflets. The leaves are bright green in color and turn yellow in the fall. This plant is a popular choice for gardens and landscaping due to its attractive flowers and ability to cover large areas quickly. It is also a popular choice for training on pergolas and other outdoor structures. However, it is important to prune the vines regularly to prevent them from becoming too overgrown and heavy. In July or August, after flowering has occurred, cut back the current year's whippy green shoots to five or six leaves. Come January or February (when the plant is dormant and leafless), trim those same shoots back to two or three buds in order to keep the plant looking tidy before the growing season begins and make sure the flowers will be visible. Overall, Amethyst Falls Wisteria is a stunning plant that adds a touch of elegance and fragrance to any outdoor space.
