American wisteria, Wisteria frutescens, is a deciduous climbing vine native to the stream banks and forests of the southeastern American states, including Virginia, Iowa and New York. Wisteria frutescens is less vigorous than its counterparts, Chinese and Japanese wisteria, with shorter racemes of unscented flowers. That's not to say it's a small climber – it's still capable of clothing walls, fences and other supports in beautiful foliage and flowers.

Wisteria frutescens 'Amethyst Falls' is an exception to the species, producing richly scented flowers in May and June. You can also grow this variety in a large container, where it will grow to become a marvellous potted specimen for the patio.

For best results, grow Wisteria frutescens 'Amethyst Falls' in full sun or partial shade in fertile, moist and well-drained soil. It establishes faster than most wisterias and may flower within a few years.
