Wisteria floribunda is a deciduous, climbing shrub with lilac, pendulous flowers in May or June.

There are many species of wisteria but the two most popular are Chinese wisteria, Wisteria sinensis, and Japanese wisteria, Wisteria floribunda. Wisteria sinensis grows in an anticlockwise direction and Wisteria floribunda clockwise.

Wisteria floribunda is less vigorous than the Chinese wisteria and is therefore less likely to cause problems when grown on buildings. The flowers open against a background of young foliage, with pendant clusters of pea-like, lilac-purple blooms.

Wisteria floribunda 'Multijuga' has longer-than-average clusters of fragrant flowers in a soft shade of lilac with darker markings.

How to grow Wisteria floribunda 'Multijuga'

Grow Wisteria floribunda 'Multijuga' in fertile, moist but well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade. Like most wisterias, it's slow to become established and may take several years to start flowering. Alternatively, buy a grafted plant which will flower sooner than those grown on their own roots.
