Notes

'Caroline' wisteria (Wisteria 'Caroline') is a vine for borders, privacy screens, accents, and pollinator gardens. 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 early to late spring and again in early to late summer. Butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees visit the blooms. Deer tend to browse other plants first.

Pairs well with The President clematis, Incrediball hydrangea, Ornamental onion, and Casa Blanca lily.
