Botanical name:Wisteria floribunda 'Rosea'
Wisteria floribunda is a climbing deciduous vine that grows rapidly to 25' long. It needs support such as a trellis or arbor or patio cover. During the spring, spectacular 18" long, rosy-pink blooms hang like pendants from this vine. It needs full sun to part sun.

Soils and Compost:
Maintain a two to four inch layer of mulch on the soil surface to reduce weeds, infiltrate rain water, and reduce compaction.
Water Saving Tip:
Mulching and adding compost to soil can minimize evaporation and help soil absorb and store water.
Integrated Pest Management:
Develop healthy soil for plants that are vigorous and naturally pest-resistant.
