The Aunt Dee Kentucky Wisteria is a beautiful climbing plant with twining stems covered in glossy, dark-green leaves. In spring it blooms on the bare branches, carrying 8 to 12-inch hanging clusters of fragrant, lilac-blue pea-like blossoms. This vigorous plant can cover a fence over 20 feet long, or grow up into a tree, so give it enough room. It is a gorgeous choice for covering a pergola, or for growing on a trellis mounted on a wall. It can even be grown in a pot or as a bonsai, with training, and as a free-standing shrub with minimal support.
The Aunt Dee Kentucky Wisteria is a non-invasive variety of an American native plant, which will bloom in zone 4, and grows in all warmer zones. It is easy to grow, accepting clay and wet soils well. It is normally not bothered by pests or diseases, and it is tolerant of road salt. It can be allowed to grow naturally in a large area, or pruned twice a year to keep it compact and blooming vigorously.
