A high-climbing, fast-growing vine with purple and blue blooms, wisteria is a gorgeous addition to any garden. There are actually two species of the plant commonly grown in America:
Wisteria floribunda or Japanese wisteria and
Wisteria sinensis or Chinese wisteria
. Both feature twining vines, pea-like highly fragrant flowers, and are aggressive growers. But take note, both species of the plant need careful tending to.

Most wisterias take around five to seven years until they begin to bloom, according to the New York Botanical Garden (NYBG).
