One More Wisteria!


This Wisteria has more names than you can shake a stick at but according to Peter Valder there is only one Double Flowering form of Wisteria & the most valid cultivar name is 'Violacea Plena'. Other names it is commonly sold under are 'Black Dragon', 'Kokuryu' & 'Yae Kokuryu'.

Two more Wisteria pics from the Garden..

The super long racemes of 'Macrobotrys'

'Honbeni' also known as Pink Ice.

Wisteria 'Burford'.

If you are looking for a Wisteria that is quick to flower then Burford isn't for you! But if you are looking for a Wisteria that's ultimately great it could just be what you are looking for!!

Alien Invader!

Well about as dangerous as!!
