Bailey Nurseries: First Editions Summer Cascade Wisteria

Known as Wisteria macrostachya ‘Betty Matthews,’ this flowering vine blooms on new growth, covering the plant with flowers beginning in June. It’s ideal for covering an arbor or pergola — adding shade, fragrance and ambiance to your outdoor space with its 15- to 25-ft height. Summer Cascade’s long, showy flowers open to a deep blue-lavender, then fade as the season progresses in Zones 4 to 8. In late summer, the plant produces seedpods that add multi-season interest. Research at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum found Summer Cascade to be more reliably cold hardy than other varieties.
