A cottage garden сɩаѕѕіс which is instantly recognisable, wisteria sinensis varieties tend to have shorter flower racemes than wisteria floribunda cultivars, but both are equally іmргeѕѕіⱱe when in full bloom.

These vigorous climbers need a sturdy supportive framework to climb and they can live to an іmргeѕѕіⱱe age. For a wisteria sinensis, we recommend Wisteria sinensis ‘Patio Standard’ or if you’d prefer to try a floribunda cultivar, with its pretty pink pendant blooms, Wisteria floribunda ‘Rosea’ is very popular.

For a flush of exquisite white blooms, try Wisteria floribunda ‘Alba’ which also holds an Award of Garden Merit from the RHS.
