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.

Japanese Wisteria at Longwood Gardens

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.
