Wisteria frutescens ‘Amethyst Falls’
Blooming Time
Exposure
There’s no waiting for ‘Amethyst Falls’ to flower! Unlike other types, ‘Amethyst Falls’ typically blooms after its first season in the ground (often blooming within the container). This is nice for impatient gardeners who will enjoy its 4 to 6-inch long racemes of beautiful lavender-blue fragrant summerborne flowers. The compound foliage of ‘Amethyst Falls’ is also attractive. Colored mid green, it is gray blue underneath and quite attractive spring through fall.
