Wisteria is a climbing plant known for its beautiful, cascading clusters of purple, blue, or white flowers. It belongs to the Fabaceae family and is native to East Asia and North America. Wisteria thrives in well-drained soil and prefers full sun, making it a popular choice for gardens and landscapes. These plants can grow quite large, often reaching heights of 30 feet or more. Wisteria is also known for its fragrant blooms, which attract pollinators like bees and butterflies. However, it requires regular pruning to maintain its shape and prevent it from becoming invasive in some areas.
