Planted this wisteria some 40 years ago. 12 years ago decided to build deck and hot tub (now gone). Had two peaked arbors built and let the wisteria go. Oh my gosh. The flowers are beautiful and the fragrance is light and soothing. Sorry it only blooms for about 10-14 days. The leaves provide a deep shade which is much needed in north central Texas for at least 7 months of the year of 90-100 degree days. I like that it is decidious because then we have radiant heat from the sun when we have the other 5 months of bone chilling cold......no spring or fall here.....summer then winter.
