Wisteria
sinensis 'Jako' 11 May, 2003, Sunningdale
This
is an almost pure white form of the Chinese wisteria and as
such is very vigorous and often flowering twice a year. It
also needs to be severely cut back twice a year, not only
for the flowering, but simply to keep it from becoming a tangled
mess. Wisteria sinensis (Papilionaceae family) was
first introduced to the UK in 1816 and when the first propagated
plants were sold they cost six guineas, around the price you
have to pay today.
