Wisteria floribunda 'Multijuga' | Japanese Wysteria
DESCRIPTION
Wisteria floribunda 'Multijuga' is a breathtaking deciduous vine renowned for its exceptionally long, cascading flower clusters. These pendulous racemes can reach up to 3 feet in length, making them some of the longest of any wisteria variety. The flowers are a soft, lavender-violet color, creating a dramatic waterfall effect as they hang gracefully from the vine. Blooming in late spring to early summer, the racemes open gradually from the base to the tip, prolonging the bloom period and providing a stunning display for several weeks.
Native to Japan, 'Multijuga' is celebrated for its ornamental beauty and has been cultivated for centuries in traditional Japanese gardens. It is often trained to cover arbors, pergolas, or trellises, where its lengthy racemes can fully display their elegance. Beyond its floral spectacle, this wisteria also offers attractive pinnate foliage that emerges bronze before maturing to deep green, adding further texture and interest to the landscape throughout the growing season.
