Wisteria spp. is a genus of woody, climbing vines that are known for their large, showy flowers that bloom in the spring. The genus includes about ten species that are native to Asia and North America
Flowers

Wisteria flowers can be blue, white, or pink, and they bloom in the spring. Some varieties of Wisteria flowers have been used to make wine. 

Toxicity

Some varieties of Wisteria are toxic, so it’s important to identify them carefully. The flowers are the only edible part of the plant, and the leaves, seeds, and root should be avoided. 

Growing conditions

Wisteria plants grow best in full sun, but they should be kept away from waterlogged soils and very shady spots. 

Flower buds
While the Wisteria plant is hardy and can survive the average UK winter, its flower buds are not hardy.

How to grow wisteria

This gorgeous climber produces cascades of fragrant mauve or white flowers in late spring. It’s a vigorous plant that needs regular pruning and training to keep it in check and flowering well, but is well worth the effort. It looks amazing in full bloom clothing the front of a house, draping over a pergola or scrambling along a sunny wall.
