Chinese Wisteria 'Prolific', Chinese Kidney Bean 'Prolific'
Sweetly fragrant, Wisteria sinensis ‘Prolific’ (Chinese Wisteria) is a free-flowering deciduous climber, producing masses of pendulous clusters, up to 1 ft. long (30 cm), packed with scented, pea-like, blue-violet blossoms. Appearing before the leaves in late spring to early summer, they bloom repeatedly during the summer. They are followed by attractive, velvety, bean-like pods, 6 in. long (15 cm), which ripen in the fall and may persist into winter. Equally attractive is the foliage of light green, pinnate leaves which consist of 7 to 13 leaflets. ‘Prolific’ often flowers from a young age.
