Gorgeous Blooms, Great Size Amethyst Falls Wisteria!
Yes, you can have it all! Celebrate the magic of the growing season with an outdoor entertainment area draped in a showy, native Wisteria!
A natural dwarf, the Amethyst Falls Wisteria (Wisteria frutescens 'Amethyst Falls') features six-inch long clusters of light lavender and purple blooms! There's no wait, as this Wisteria vine starts producing flowers from a young age!
Refined Amethyst Falls Wisteria has smaller leaves and blooms than the super-showy Chinese Wisteria and Japanese Wisteria species. This non-invasive selection is just fine grown near other plants!
You'll fall in love with the scent and sight of these lovely deciduous vines. Each fragrant flower is a masterpiece and becomes a clarion call for butterflies and hummingbirds!
These intricate flowers delight you and your guests in early summer. Trim the blooms for cut flower arrangements inside or float them in shallow bowls along your dining table. Trimming encourages a rebloom later in the season.
A native of North America USDA growing zones 5-9, this giving plant is a Host Plant for several varieties of Skipper Butterflies.
How to Use Amethyst Falls Wisteria in the Landscape
This Flowering Vine will need a sturdy support to climb. Design the perfect arbor or pergola or simply install a wide trellis to become a living screen.
Wisteria Vines can be used as a vertical accent with a narrow footprint. Live large in an outdoor room screened in by two L-shaped trellises to hide the neighborhood.
This is an exceptional Climbing Vine, or train it into a single trunk tree with pruning and staking. It can also be planted as a gorgeous flowering groundcover!
Train a pair of Amethyst Falls Wisteria at either end of a special garden gate. The growth twines clockwise, and you'll enjoy giving it a helping hand in mindful communion with your vines.
Treat yourself each time you walk underneath their dripping display of lavender blooms. Include seating nearby to enjoy your Wisteria plant's fragrance.
Renters can use their Amethyst Falls on balconies; planting theirs in an oversized planter with an obelisk in the center, or select a long planter that has a cunning garden seat and built-in trellis.
On a large property, try this as an eye-catching flowering groundcover. Plant vines eight feet apart on center, and train them to spread out to hide rock piles or to glorify a slope. This trick even works on chain link fences and old TV antennas. Turn the eyesore into an asset with these alluring blooms.

#ProPlantTips for Care
Plant Wisteria in full sun or partial shade (afternoon shade in hotter hardiness zones), where it will receive at least 5-6 hours of sunlight a day. Wisteria will struggle to bloom in anything less. Your Wisteria requires well-drained soil that won't retain water after rain.
Wisteria will tolerate periodic drought once its root system becomes established. You'll want to use Nature Hills Root Booster during planting for life-long support of the tiny feeder roots. Fertilize regularly during the growing season with a general-purpose fertilizer.
Give young vines regular weekly watering, and protect them during high heat periods with water as needed. A 3-4 inch deep layer of mulch helps cut down on surface evaporation.
Pruning Wisteria Vines
Wisteria blooms on new wood, so just trim it down to control size. Overall, this American Wisteria stays petite...growing only a third of the size of Asian Wisteria floribunda.
Amethyst Falls Wisteria 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 this year's growth begins in late winter or very early spring. 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 are fading. Deadheading will encourage a second, smaller flush of flowers.
Invest in a sharp pair of garden shears to get the best performance from your Amethyst Falls. Pruning is part and parcel of growing gorgeous Wisterias...read more in the #ProPlantTips section.

Wisteria FAQ
How invasive are Wisteria Vines?
Amethyst Falls Wisteria are considered non-invasive as they are native flowering vines and are not as aggressive as some other Wisteria varieties.
How long does it take for an Amethyst Falls Wisteria to bloom?
Wisteria Vines should bloom 3 to 4 years after being established. A Wisteria can be slow to bloom when exposed to less than full sun settings, exposed to excess lawn fertilizer, and moisture access.
Does Amethyst Falls Wisteria Vine require pruning?
Pruning is essential for Wisteria Vines. Maintain their shape and control their vigorous growth while encouraging flowering by pruning twice a year.
- Once in late winter to early spring (before the growing season begins) to remove any dead or damaged wood
- Again after flowering to shape the plant, remove overgrowth, and promote new growth
Regular pruning helps prevent the vine from outgrowing its space or becoming unruly.
