Notes
'Alba' Japanese wisteria (Wisteria floribunda 'Alba') is a vine for borders. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. Fragrant flowers open in spring and again in summer, and butterflies visit them. It sits low on the menu for deer. This fast climber needs a strong support.
Pairs well with Clematis, Japanese maple, and Grape hyacinth.
