American Wisteria

This is your lovely alternative to the invasive wisterias choking out our woodlands and rampantly taking over roadsides. How do you tell the difference between the two? Wisteria frutescens has a shorter length raceme, and American Wisteria blooms later than the invasives. Pictured: Wiseria frutescens 'Amethyst Falls'. Bonus: it's a host plant!
