This stunning Japanese wisteria is prized for its extremely long racemes.
These racemes can reach up to one metre in length.
Each raceme is covered with masses of pale lavender to mauve, pea-like flowers.
The flowers have a delightful fragrance and often start on bare stems.
As the lacy green foliage emerges, the flowers fade to a very pale mauve colour.
Attractive golden autumn foliage.
