Japanese Wisteria | Wisteria floribunda 'Multijuga'
- When it comes to wisteria, few varieties are as impressive or extravagant as ‘Multijuga’. Known for its bicolour flower racemes, which measure up to 1m long – seriously – this cultivar is the very definition of showstopping.
- Flowering from May to June, the pea-like flowers comprise both dark and pale purple hues, and contrast wonderfully with the lush green foliage unfurling alongside it. Add to that the sweet floral fragrance of the blooms and you’re onto a real winner.
- Vigorous in nature, ‘Multijuga’ is perfect for bedecking a feature wall or wreathing a sturdy pergola. Also popular with bees and butterflies, there’s really no reason not to have one of these plants in your garden if you have the space (this variety typically grows to a height of between six and eight metres).
- This wisteria doesn’t just offer spring and summer interest, either. Before the leaves fall in autumn, they take on golden and chartreuse hues, before leaving behind the architectural woody vines, which provide structural interest throughout the winter.
- Fully hardy, this wisteria will be able to withstand whatever the British weather can throw at it. Bear in mind that you will need to prune your wisteria to keep it in tip-top shape. Don’t worry, though, we’ve written a comprehensive guide covering this topic.
