Wisteria floribunda 'Rosea'
Lavender Pink Japanese Wisteria
Description
Wisteria floribunda is a climbing deciduous vine that grows rapidly to 25' long. It needs support such as a trellis or arbor or patio cover. During the spring, spectacular 18" long, rosy-pink blooms hang like pendants from this vine. It needs full sun to part sun. This vine tends to sucker so if you have the standard form, you must continually prune. It requires medium water when young, but once established, it is drought tolerant.

Water Saving Tip:
Consider replacing some lawn areas with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs.
Good candidates for removal are portions of large lawns, areas where no one uses the grass, patches that don't grow well, or spaces too small to water without overspray.
