Wisteria floribunda seed

LATIN NAME: Wisteria floribunda

COMMON NAME: Japanese Wisteria

The Japanese wisteria is the great blue curtain of the old wall, and the long racemes of the pea-flowers hang down like the ropes of the rain. The vigorous, twining, deciduous climber carries the pinnate leaves and the long, pendulous racemes of the many fragrant, violet-blue, pea-like flowers through the late spring, one of the great, blue sights of the old garden, to be followed by the long, velvety pods. The climber is a fine, bold presence of the old wall, the pergola and the strong arbour. It is a climber of the open, sunny, deep, well-drained ground.

Scientific Research & Plant Biotechnology

The Japanese wisteria is a great subject of the plant science, and the pendulous racemes keep showing up in the work on the flowering climbers. The way the climber flowers so heavily and trains so well has been studied steadily, and it keeps appearing in the studies of the woody vines, the flowering climbers and the members of the pea family. The pinnate leaves and the vigorous, twining habit have also made it a fine garden plant, and the Japanese wisteria is a regular subject of the work on the great flowering vines of the cool world.

Ecological & Economic Value & Wide Applications

The Japanese wisteria is a fine, bold climber of the old wall and the pergola. The long, pendulous racemes of the fragrant, violet-blue flowers hang down through the late spring, one of the great, blue sights of the old garden, drawing the bees, and the pinnate leaves cover the wall and the arbour through the summer. The seeds are best left in the pods, so the plant is grown for the flowers and the curtain of the blue bloom rather than for the table, and it is one of the fine choices for the old wall, the strong pergola and the trained tree of the large garden. It has been written up in the horticultural papers for the blue racemes and the vigorous ways, and it is a fine, long-lived climber of the open, sunny, deep, well-drained garden.

The Japanese wisteria is one of the great flowering climbers of the old garden, and the long racemes of the violet-blue flowers hang like the ropes of the rain. The seeds are best left in the pods.

To grow the Japanese wisteria from seed, sow the small, round seeds a little below the surface of a pot of sterile, free-draining soil, keep the pot in a warm, bright spot and water gently. The seedlings come through within a few weeks and climb fast. With the sun, the warmth and the deep, well-drained ground, the blue racemes will come in their own good time.

Wisteria floribunda (common name Japanese wisteria ) is a species of flowering plant in the pea family Fabaceae, native to Japan. Growing to 9 m (30 ft), it is a woody, deciduous twining climber
Wisteria Floribunda Snow Showers. One grafted plant, well rooted. Very well rooted plant, ready to be transplanted to the permanent location. Perfect for smaller spaces, this gorgeous twining vine grows at about a third the rate of Asian wisteria.
