Wisteria floribunda 'Lipstick'
      
    
A most vigorous and beautiful climber. Known as 'Kuchibeni' in Japan. This plant flowers in early spring as the pale green leaves emerge. Leaves turn a dark green then a lovely clear yellow in Autumn. The flower racemes are 40 cm long, densely packed with mauve-pink flowers fading to white. Flowers have a sweet scent. Very hardy. Prune after flowering and in the winter if necessary. Good for pergolas or walls.
