Description
Amethyst Falls American Wisteria is a fast-growing twining deciduous vine native to the States with small leaves. The drooping raceme sporting fragrant pea-like lilac flowers bloom on new growth, attracting bees and butterflies in spring with a light rebloom in summer. Flat brown seedpods follow the flowers. Blooms best in
full sun
and well-drained soil. Amethyst Falls is not an aggressive spreader, but has low toxicity.
Wisteria frutescens is a host plant for Zarucco Duskywing, Marine Blue butterflies, Silver Spotted Skipper, and Long-Tailed Skipper butterflies. Learn more about planting for butterflies with Georgia natives with this brochure.
