Wisteria floribunda 'Black Dragon'
A most vigorous and beautiful climber. Also known as 'Royal Purple'. This plant flowers in late spring as the pale bronze-green leaves emerge. Leaves turn a dark green. The flower racemes are 40 cm long, densely packed with darkest double violet and purple flowers. Flowers have a sweet scent. Very hardy. Prune after flowering and in the winter if necessary. Good for pergolas where the flowers can hang down or walls.
