Cold-Hardy Native Wisteria

Blue Moon is an especially cold-hardy wisteria selection, suitable for USDA Zones 3–9. It is a cultivated selection of Kentucky wisteria, native to the south-central United States, rather than an invasive Asian wisteria species.

This vigorous vine develops a strong, woody structure as it matures and can become a dramatic flowering feature in the landscape.

Growing Conditions and Care

Sunlight: Full sun, with at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily, is recommended for the best flowering.

Soil: Prefers slightly acidic to neutral soil, with an ideal pH of approximately 6.0–7.0.

Moisture: Provide medium moisture and evenly moist, well-drained soil. Avoid locations where water stands around the roots.

Support: Blue Moon Kentucky Wisteria is a vigorous, woody twining vine. Provide a heavy-duty, permanent support structure with strong anchors.

Landscape Uses

Ideal for training over:

• Heavy-duty arbors

• Sturdy pergolas

• Large trellises

• Strong fences

• Vertical garden screens

It also makes an impressive flowering specimen plant when given enough space and a suitable support structure.

Important: Mature woody vines become very heavy. Use a strong, permanent support system designed to handle the plant's mature weight.

Seasonal Appearance

Wisteria is deciduous.

• Spring and summer: Ships with leaves.

• Fall and winter: Ships dormant without leaves.

A dormant plant without foliage is normal during its seasonal resting period.
