Family Fabaceae

Wisteria frutescens 'Amethyst Falls', commonly known as American Wisteria 'Amethyst Falls', is a prolific climbing plant prized for its hardiness and delicate blooms. Its twining habit, less invasive than Asian wisterias, makes it an excellent choice for pergolas, arbors, trellises, or small gardens. In spring, and then sporadically throughout summer, it produces hanging clusters of slightly fragrant, amethyst-purple flowers that attract pollinating insects. Its deciduous, medium-green foliage, composed of fine leaflets, creates an elegant screen during the growing season. Easier to control and often earlier to bloom, Wisteria frutescens 'Amethyst Falls' is perfectly suited for northern climates and restricted spaces, where it brings charm and lightness.
