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. Left unchecked, vines can grow 10 feet a season all of it foliage and none of it bloom. But don t give up if your plant takes time to flower. Most wisterias take around five to seven years until they begin to bloom, according to the New York Botanical Garden (NYBG).
