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.
