Wild Purple Wisteria


This wild wisteria is easily started from seeds or just digging up a plant. It grows everywhere in North East Texas and is often found in the woods, probably old homeplaces . It has a wonderful sweet smell. If you put out one, beware, it is very aggressive and will put out runners that will reach out and twine around everything in it's path, up into the tree tops and so beautiful. They are pretty if you keep them trimmed and prunes back also. They only bloom for couple weeks in the spring.
I have listed the rare white one below.
Click on the picture for a closer look at how beautiful this plant is, almost looks like a cluster of grapes.
"And in the vine were three branches: and it was as though it budded, and her blossoms shot forth; and the clusters thereof brought forth ripe grapes."
Genesis 40:10
