Wisteriopsis reticulata, commonly known as Evergreen Wisteria, is a perennial vine that can be evergreen in warmer climates or deciduous in cooler regions. It is native to forest margins, stream banks, and limestone hills in East Asia, particularly China and Taiwan This vine typically grows to a height of 12-15 feet (4-5 meters) and spreads 4-6 feet (1.2-1.8 meters) wide. It features compound leaves and bears clusters of fragrant, purple flowers in the summer, which are highly attractive to pollinators. The blooms are followed by elongated seed pods.

Evergreen Wisteria is valued for its ability to provide year-round foliage in warm climates and for its showy, fragrant flowers that add a tropical touch to gardens. It is often used for trellises, arbors, and fences, or allowed to climb freely on other structures. In cultivation, it requires full sun to part shade, consistent medium watering, and well-drained soil to thrive. While it is less aggressive than some other wisteria species, it still requires regular pruning to maintain shape and size. It is relatively low-maintenance once established but can be susceptible to fungal diseases if grown in overly moist conditions.CC BY-SA 4.0
