Description
- A wonderful variety with flowing cascades of stout lilac-pink racemes (roughly 15cm long)
- It’s not just the flowers that are attractive, the foliage is, too – leaves grow to over 30cm long and comprise numerous light green leaflets
- Flowers produce an irresistible fragrance
- Wisteria vines are extremely attractive to pollinators like bumblebees, so get ready for more gentle buzzing in your garden!
- Silky wisteria is named such due to the soft, velvety texture of its foliage and seedpods
- Fantastic woody stems add oodles of rustic appeal when trained up a wall, fence, trellis, pergola or any other structure
- A fully hardy perennial climber, this variety can withstand even the harshest of UK winters
- ‘Showa-Beni’ holds the Royal Horticultural Society’s Award of Garden Merit – an indication of just how well-regarded this wisteria variety is
- Please Note: Our climbers are pruned back each winter, and some during the summer, so you may find at certain times of year they do not cover the whole 90cm cane. This is intentional to ensure the best growth when you plant out
