Understanding Plant Options
Nature Hills offers plants in two main formats:
- Container Plants: Grown in pots with soil, sized by container volume and plant age
- Bare Root Plants: Dormant plants without soil, sized by height measurements
Container Plant Sizes
Container sizes indicate plant age and growing capacity rather than liquid volume equivalents. Our containers follow industry-standard nursery "trade gallon" specifications, which differ from standard liquid gallon measurements.

Lavender Falls Wisteria - Magnificent Fragrant Vine!
The Lavender Falls Wisteria Vine (Wisteria floribunda 'Betty Tam') is a phenomenal Wisteria that blooms profusely with up to 20-inch long, pendulous, long drooping clusters of lavender just before the foliage appears in the spring.
The lavender cascading racemes of Lavender Falls have the scent of sweet grape jelly, and they rebloom two or three times during the summer with smaller racemes. The flowers naturally attract butterflies and Hummingbirds and you'll love snipping a few for your bouquets!
Lush green exotic-looking foliage forms on fast-growing tendrils that become woody vines and stems. Plants grow rapidly to 20 feet and completely cover any structure they are allowed to cling to. Hardy throughout USDA plant hardiness zones 5 to 9 and are relatively pest and disease-resistant!
Landscape Application:
This Japanese Wisteria quickly establishes a beautiful trellis accent or patio shade cover! The deciduous vines carry lovely, fragrant flowers and vigorous growth makes Lavender Falls useful in a wide variety of settings, especially for screening and hiding eyesores or adding privacy around your sunny landscapes!
Use Lavender Falls as a small footprint climbing specimen in containers for a porch screen, or Espalier yours onto a fence or garden arbor in a pair of large planters on either side of a pathway. Give Wisteria a sturdy structure to grow on, as Lavender Falls will become an important vertical design element in your landscape.
Create a fairytale garden with these dangling blossoms that will be swarming in fairies (also known as butterflies and bees!), so plant yours as backdrops to pollinator borders, covering archways leading to Cottage gardens, and as vertical design elements by your front door to transform any front stoop into a magical Cottage!

#ProPlantTips for Care:
Lavender Falls grows in a wide range of soil types and moistures. It prefers a pH level between 5.0 - 8.0. These flowering vines thrive in full sun and they can tolerate some shade in hot Southern climates and moist soil.
During your plant's first season in the ground, water carefully and consistently to help the roots establish themselves in the soil. After that, water should be provided regularly as needed, especially during drought. A 3-4 inch deep layer of mulch will hold moisture in the soil consistently and keep the roots stress-free.
Pruning Wisteria Vines
Wisteria can grow fast and bloom on new wood. Established plants may grow 10 feet or more in a single year. You can certainly keep it much smaller with bi-yearly pruning.
Get the best flowering display with pruning before growth begins in late winter or very early spring. Remove dead or broken branches at this time. For size control, count four buds up along last year's growth, and trim your vine just above the fourth bud, removing excess side shoots.
Prune again just after the first round of spring blooms have faded. Deadheading will sometimes encourage a second, smaller flush of flowers on some varieties.
Invest in a sharp pair of garden shears to get the best performance from your Wisteria. Pruning is necessary for growing gorgeous Wisterias ... read more in the #ProPlantTips Garden Blog.

Wisteria FAQ
How invasive is Wisteria?
Chinese Wisteria and Japanese Wisteria are vigorous growers, so unmanaged vines can overtake an area, and they have surface runners that root when touching the ground.
How long does it take for a Wisteria to bloom?
Wisteria species should bloom 3 to 4 years after being established. A Wisteria can be slow to bloom when exposed to less sun or exposed to high-nitrogen fertilizer.
