Wisteria sinensis 'Prolific'Wisteria chinensis, Chinese wisteria

Beautiful, scented pendants of lilac-blue flowers drape from the branches of this special cottage garden climber, filling the air with a sweet perfume. Wisteria sinensis 'Prolific' is well named for its free-flowering habit, producing masses of lilac-mauve flowers which the bees love!

Wisteria sinensis is a little less vigorous than other wisteria species, reaching a mature height of 9m (28'). The prolific flowering habit makes Wisteria the ideal specimen plant for training onto sunny walls. Height: 9m (28'). Spread: 5m (16'). Supplied as a grafted plant.

Culinary note: The flowers are the only edible part of the plant and can be made into an aromatic wine. Their flavour is perfumed. Caution: All other parts of wisteria are poisonous. For more details about edible flowers click here.

Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.
