Wisteria sinensis 'Alba'

Also known as the white 'Chinese Wisteria'. A vigorous, twining climber with pinnate leaves, each composed of 7 - 13 elliptic or ovate leaflets. Pea-like, fragrant, white flowers, up to 30cm long, borne in late spring and early summer, often followed by bean-like, velvety green seed pods. The photographs show our very own garden specimen; one of the sensual highlights of the whole garden, both visually and olfactorily!
