This is my favorite of all the wisterias I have seen. The racemes are very full and have a combination of rich colors which make it stunning. It starts a deep purple, the darkest of all the cultivars and lightens up slightly as time goes by. There is also a lot of mauve in it. According to Peter Valder, ( author of Wisterias), this is the only double known. There has been some disagreement on this but Mr. Valder feels the difference in color is due to cultural conditions not to there being different cultivars. It is also know for its fall color, a clear yellow. Again considered the best for fall color. It is known to be difficult to get to bloom early in its life though it is as floriferous as any other if grown in full sun and pruned correctly.
