Notes
'Kuchi Beni' Japanese wisteria (Wisteria floribunda 'Kuchi Beni') 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 butterflies visit them. It sits low on the menu for deer. This vine climbs fast, so give it a strong support.
Pairs well with Niobe clematis, Climbing hydrangea, Festiva Maxima peony, and Grape hyacinth.
