Wisteria frutescens 'Amethyst Falls' (Amethyst Falls American Wisteria)

Wisteria frutescens 'Amethyst Falls' (Amethyst Falls American Wisteria) is a compact and less invasive wisteria variety prized for its beautiful lavender-blue flower clusters and manageable growth habit. This deciduous vine produces abundant, fragrant flower racemes in late spring, with occasional repeat blooming in summer. Unlike more aggressive Asian wisterias, 'Amethyst Falls' is easier to control and flowers at a younger age. The plant features bright green compound leaves that create an attractive backdrop for the stunning floral displays.

Ideal for smaller gardens, containers, and growing on pergolas or trellises, this wisteria thrives in well-drained, fertile soil and full sun. It is more drought-tolerant than other wisterias once established and is less likely to become invasive. This variety is particularly valued for its earlier and more frequent flowering, compact size, and suitability for smaller spaces where traditional wisterias would be too vigorous.
