Wisteria frutescens, commonly called American wisteria. This species is native to the eastern U.S., and it’s hardy in Zones 4-9, meaning it'll grow in most areas of the country. American wisteria can reach dazzling heights of up to 30 feet, and spreads up to 8 feet wide. It acts like a combo of a shrub and a vine, growing thick, woody stems over time that can wind around fences and scramble up the sides of a house.Produces huge clusters of fragrant, light purple flowers. As a bonus, native varieties also tend to mature and bloom sooner than invasive species, which can sometimes take a few years to flower. American wisteria is even tame enough to grow in containers (as long as you prune it regularly) if you want to enjoy the breathtaking blooms on a smaller scale. Wisteria plants are stunning when they’re in bloom. In spring, they create curtains of purplish, sweetly scented flowers for a week or so. But before you start searching for one to buy, know that not all wisterias are created equal. Some of them will quickly take over your garden. Native wisteria species, however, is not invasive—and they're just as gorgeous. American wisteria is much slower growing, and will require minimal pruning, compared to Chinese wisteria. To grow wisteria, start by planting seeds in a seed starter filled most of the way with potting soil. Next, cover them with 1/4 inch of soil, keep the soil moist, and transplant the spouts outside when they are 4 to 5 inches tall. This is for 8 organic seeds from my wisteria vine.
