Wisteria sinensis ‘Alba’ – Classic Elegance in White

Wisteria sinensis ‘Alba’ is a vigorous, deciduous climber (H up to 10 m) renowned for its breathtaking cascades of creamy-white, fragrant pea-like flowers in late spring to early summer. Its twining, woody stems make it ideal for training over pergolas, walls, arches, or large trellises, creating a romantic, classic garden statement. Hardy (H5) and long-lived, it produces lush green foliage throughout summer, which turns soft yellow before leaf drop in autumn. Annual pruning is essential to maintain shape and encourage prolific flowering.
