Wisteria 'Early Amethyst'

The earliest and deepest-colored native wisteria we carry. beats the Asian cultivars for bloom timing without the aggressive spread.

Early Amethyst lives up to its name by blooming two to three weeks ahead of the species, bringing dense clusters of deep purple-blue flowers to pergolas and fences in mid-spring. The fragrance is rich and carries. Bumblebees find it the moment it opens. A second flush often follows in late summer, extending the interest well past the spring peak. This is a more compact selection of native American wisteria, making it more practical for smaller structures and residential gardens than the species. All the ecological benefit, pollinator value, nitrogen fixation through root nodules, wildlife habitat, in a more manageable footprint. The right choice when you want wisteria but want to stay in control of it.
