'Blue Moon' is a vigorous, twining, deciduous climber with dark green leaves divided into narrow, lance-shaped leaflets. Raised from a cutting, this wisteria blooms earlier than seed-grown forms. Dense racemes of fragrant, pale lavender-blue pea-like flowers emerge in early summer followed by smooth, brown, bean-like pods.
- 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
