American wisteria - Wisteria frutescens 'Longwood Purple' (scented flowers)

Wisteria frutescens 'Longwood Purple', also known as the American wisteria 'Longwood Purple', is a climbing plant highly valued for its fragrant dark purple flowers. This variety produces clusters of flowers that appear in the spring or summer season, adding a pop of color and fragrance to the garden.

Compared to other Wisteria species, Wisteria frutescens 'Longwood Purple' is more resistant and less invasive. While Wisteria sinensis (Chinese wisteria) and Wisteria floribunda (Japanese wisteria) are known for their fast growth and potentially invasive nature, Wisteria frutescens tends to be milder in growth and easier to control.

In addition, compared to Asian varieties, Wisteria frutescens 'Longwood Purple' blooms later, which can extend the garden's flowering season if these plants are grown together.

Like all wisteria, 'Longwood Purple' prefers a sunny spot and well-drained soil. It needs regular maintenance by cutting to control growth and to stimulate flowering.
