Soft, pastel pink racemes of single pea-like blooms emerge in spring and early summer and the soft green foliage unravels and begins to extend as the season progresses. Raised from a cutting, the award-winning, fragrant 'Showa-beni' is in flower earlier than seed-grown wisterias.
- Garden care: Incorporate some well-rotted organic matter and mycorrhizal fungi when planting your Wisteria and keep well-watered until established, particularly in dry summers. Prune in July to reduce the long thin green growth and again in January to further reduce these stems to encourage flower buds.
- Humans/Pets: Harmful if eaten
