A Wisteria Tree is created by training a traditional wisteria vine into a single-stemmed, tree-like form. This ornamental beauty grows 10–15 feet tall and features cascading chains of purple, lavender, or bluish flowers in mid to late spring. The blooms are powerfully fragrant and drape like chandeliers from its rounded canopy, offering a romantic, old-world feel. Its twisted trunk and artistic structure remain attractive even after flowering. Best used as a specimen in sunny, open areas, the Wisteria Tree is ideal for gardeners looking for dramatic impact in a formal or cottage-style landscape.
