Wisteria sinensis 'Cooke's Purple' (Purple Chinese Wisteria) - A woody deciduous vine that can climb 20-30 feet and as wide with leaves that are divided into 11-13 pointed leaflets. In the spring while the leaves are just budding out, this vine produces foot long clusters of fragrant lilac-purple flowers. These clusters hang below the foliage, creating a spectacular show. Grows in full sun to partial shade with occasional watering. Hardy to below 0° F. This variety is known to occasionally rebloom in the summer. We really love this classic vine but we can't source this plant free of Wisteria Mosaic Virus and while this may not be a problem in hotter areas, in our climate plants do not outpace this virus and foliage remains yellow and disfigured.
The information about Wisteria sinensis 'Cooke's Purple' displayed on this web page is based on our research conducted in the nursery's horticultural library and from reliable online resources. We also include observations made about it as it grows in our nursery gardens and other gardens we have visited, as well how the crops have performed in containers in our nursery field. We will also incorporate comments we receive from others and welcome hearing from anyone with additional information, particularly if they can share cultural information that would aid others in growing this plant. |
