Wisteria floribunda 'Snow Showers'
A most vigorous and beautiful climber. Known as 'Shiro Noda' in Japan. This plant flowers in late spring as the pale green leaves emerge. Leaves turn a dark green. The flower racemes are 45 cm long, densely packed with white flowers with a yellow blotch. Flowers have a faint scent. Very hardy. Prune after flowering and in the winter if necessary. Good for pergolas where the flowers can hang down. Famous specimen in Monet's garden.
