Plant Description

Wisteria is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae. Wisterias climb by twining their stems around any available support. The leaves are alternate, 15 to 35 cm long, pinnate, with 9 to 19 leaflets. The flowers come in a variety of colors, including white, lilac, purple, and pink. The flowers are fragrant, and especially cultivars of W. brachybotrys, W. floribunda, and W. sinensis are noted for their sweet and musky scents.
