| Botanical Name | Wisteria frutescens 'Amethyst Falls' |
| Description | A North American native variety that is far less aggressive than Asian wisterias, making it ideal for Houston landscapes. It produces lightly fragrant, lavender-blue flower clusters in spring and repeat blooms throughout the summer. While adaptable, it prefers slightly acidic to neutral soil. In areas with high clay content, ensure proper drainage or plant in amended soil to avoid root rot. |
| Exposure | Full Sun (Best for blooming) to Partial Shade |
| Height x Width | 15-20 ft. Tall x 5-10 ft. Wide |
| Water | Regular watering during the first growing season; moderately drought-tolerant once established. |
| Zones | 5 - 9 |
| Fertilization | Use a low-nitrogen fertilizer in early spring to encourage flowering rather than excessive leaf growth. |
| Pruning | Prune after the main spring bloom to shape and encourage late-season flowering. |
| Deer Resistance | High |
