Chinese wisteria is a shade-tolerant vine, but it blooms only when grown in the sun.
It prefers a deep, rich loam, has a moderate growth rate and may be hard to transplant. The roots may interfere with underground pipes. Pruning is needed to keep this 30-foot vine contained. The violet blue flowers, borne in drooping racemes, are produced in late spring or early summer. Visuals associated with this text.
