Wisteria formosa ‘Issai Perfect’, Hybrid Japanese/Chinese wisteria, Height 80-90cm, 2 litre pot

Wisteria formosa ‘Issai Perfect’ is an unusual wisteria created from a cross between Japanese and Chinese varieties. This variety is known for its reliable flowering and the fact that it is self-pollinating. This also allows it to flower richly as a solitary, without the need for a second specimen.

The plant develops long, graceful flower clusters in a soft purple-blue hue. Flowering occurs in spring and, in good conditions, may repeat slightly later in the season. Its strong vigour makes this wisteria suitable for pergolas, walls and other sturdy climbing structures.

About Wisteria formosa ‘Issai Perfect’

‘Issai Perfect’ stands out because it can flower relatively young. This makes it attractive to gardeners who do not want to wait years for its first bloom. The leaves sprout fresh green in spring and form a dense foliage in summer. In autumn, the plant loses its leaves and is bare in winter. In spring, the growth cycle starts again.

It grows vigorously and needs guidance and regular pruning to control form and flowering. A sunny location promotes flowering. Its good winter hardiness makes this wisteria suitable for the Dutch climate.
