Pendent clusters of fragrant, pea-like, pale mauve-pink flowers, tipped with purple, in June and light grey-green leaflets, turning yellow in autumn. Often underrated, Japanese wisterias are less vigorous than other varieties and are ideal for growing against a sunny house wall or a sturdy pergola. To encourage plenty of flowers, the twining stems need careful pruning.Garden care: After planting prune back the leading shoot to 90cm (36in) above the ground. In the first growing season tie in lateral shoots and cut back sub-lateral shoots to two or three buds. During the first winter cut back laterals by one third and sub-laterals by two or three buds.
