Wisteria macrostachya 'Blue Moon'
Macrostachya Blue Moon is a deciduous vine that is very similar in appearance to Wisteria frutescens. The plant is noted by some as having a long inflorescence. It is a less aggressive grower than some of the other wisterias, but is well noted for its excellent winter hardiness. It grows to 4,5 - 7,5 cm and features 15 - 30 cm long racemes of fragrant, pea-like, blue flowers that bloom in June. Flowers bloom somewhat simultaneously on the racemes thus producing a dramatic floral display. Flowers give way to pendant, velvety, bean-like seed pods (10 - 12 cm long) which ripen in autumn and may persist into winter. Stems twine counterclockwise and are clad with compound, odd-pinnate, deep green leaves. Over time, the stems of this vine become twisted and trunk-like.
