Wisteria macrostachya 'Aunt Dee'
Kentucky Blue Wisteria
Aunt Dee bears abundant trusses of fragrant lilac-blue pea-flowers in late spring and early summer on the current season's growth. Rivaling the size of those of Japanese and Chinese wisteria, the dangling flower clusters are typically borne at a younger age, often the first summer after planting. Pale green bean-like fruits follow the flowers. The compound foliage is bright green and lush. A proven hardy selection graced with 20-25 cm long clusters of lilac blue flowers. Superb for covering a trellis, pillar, fence, rail or arbor.
