Chinese Wisteria

I’m Wisteria, but some call me Chinese Wisteria. My original name ‘Zi Ten’ means ‘blue vine’. I grow mostly in vine form so love to climb, to bask in full sun or partial shade.
Known for my stunning, drooping mauve & lilac flowers which bloom repeatedly throughout Summer, but which I reveal only once I am around 12 years old.

My scent is sweet floral, slightly waxy with hints of spice. My AromaSpace was captured in April in an English country garden.

I’m a symbol for long-life, immortality & wisdom, but careful as parts of me contain a saponin called wisterin, which is toxic if ingested.
