Native and non-native Wisteria

Native wisteria at Mt. Cuba, Hockenville, DE.

Native wisteria was developed by Longwood Gardens from a specimen sent in from the south of the US by an anonymous person

These wisteria species are hardy in the eastern United States. They bloom in May.  I noticed no fragrance but there may well be such.

At Longwood Gardens in Pennsylvania very close to the border with Delaware are

wisteria vines trained in three sunken enclosures, into tree-like, tiered forms, designed in 1976.  Fragrant.

  1. Sarah,What a luxurious post!
    How will I sleep this night after this extravagant feast this ethereal beauty.
    I saturate myself with the violet tones and recall this week’s lilacs on my walks.
    I love Richard Wilbur‘s poem,’The Lilacs’?
    Sarah,Are you familiar with it?
    I thank you so much for this offering!

    1. Thank you, Jane!

      I know that poem.

      Looking forward to these parks re-opening. I am just thinking about native and non-native viburnum because the Chinese ball viburnum are so rich!
