Semi-perennial ornamental clumping grass with burgundy red foliage

• Gorgeous, feathery seed heads that sway in the wind
• Grown as a feature, mixed into cottage or coastal garden beds or lining fence lines
This plant dies back in winter and will re-shoot in late spring! Please be aware if you purchase this plant between May and November it will "look dead". It is not dead. | Wisteria floribunda 'Alba'
Japanese White Wisteria or Wisteria floribunda 'Alba' produce very long drooping flowers in the spring upon a lush, leafy green background. The flowers are highly fragrant and are much longer than the Chinese varieties, reaching a lengthy 60cm long!
Wisteria floribunda are a very hardy, fast growing climber, tolerating most soil conditions and positions. They flower best in a full sun position and benefit from a good, hard prune in the winter to maintain shape.
