Amethyst Falls Wisteria — Wisteria frutescens

Amethyst Falls Wisteria (Wisteria frutescens 'Amethyst Falls') is the best-behaved and most garden-friendly wisteria you can grow — a Georgia native vine that delivers all the romance of classic wisteria without the aggressive spreading habit of its Asian cousins. Fast-growing and twining, it produces drooping racemes of fragrant, pea-like lilac-purple flowers on new growth in spring, attracting bees and butterflies, with a light and lovely rebloom in summer. Flat brown seedpods follow the flowers, adding subtle late-season texture. A host plant for Zarucco Duskywing, Marine Blue, Silver Spotted Skipper, and Long-Tailed Skipper butterflies, making it an outstanding choice for wildlife and native gardens. Thrives in full sun with well-drained soil.

MAINTENANCE NEEDS: Medium Maintenance. Water regularly. Failure to bloom may be due to too much shade, frost damage to buds, improper pruning, over-fertilization, or being too young.
LANDSCAPE USES: Specimen or Mass Plantings, Wildlife Gardens, Native Gardens, Trellises and Walls, and Containers.

COMPANION PLANTS: Rose, Daylily, Salvia
