Wisteria frutescens

American wisteria

Native to the southern United States and considered introduced in New England. A vigorous, fast growing vine that loves slightly acidic, fertile, well drained soil and full sun, Wisteria frutescens is less aggressive than other wisterias, but needs a sturdy structure to grow upon. Very difficult to remove after established due to substantial root system.
