Wisteria floribunda 'Alba' | White Japanese Wisteria

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Wisteria floribunda ‘Alba’ bears long, cascading clusters of pure white, pea-shaped flowers that open sequentially from the base to the tip of each raceme. The blossoms release a light, sweet fragrance and appear against fresh green, pinnate foliage that emerges in spring and remains attractive through the growing season.

Flowering occurs in late spring to early summer. This cultivar originates from the Japanese species Wisteria floribunda, long cultivated for ornamental gardens. It is widely used on pergolas, arbors, walls, and sturdy trellises, where its graceful draping habit and pale blooms create dramatic vertical interest and soft seasonal emphasis.
