Wisteria, Chinese (Wisteria sinensis) potted plant, organic

Family: Legume (Fabaceae)

Hardy to Zones 5 to 9

(Zi-Teng) Deciduous woody climber native to China.  Valued for its incredibly beautiful and aromatic flowers that droop down like bunches of Elysian grapes, the vine gives a classic appearance and romantic fragrance to trellises, pergolas, throughways and the summer porch.  Traditional usage (TCM): antitumor.  The vines themselves are useful in rope making and are used in bridge construction in Asia.  Plant prefers a warm, sunny exposure and poor soil.  Excellent in large pots and half-barrels—root constriction encourages flowering. Excellent choice for large pots and half barrels.  Do not eat seeds–they are toxic.   Space plants at least 10 feet apart and trellis.

Potted vine, 3-year-old, certified organically grown
