'Amethyst Falls' American Wisteria has fragrant, short bluish lavender flowers from June to August on current season's growth. It reblooms sporadically throughout the summer. It tolerates wet sites, and works well on pergolas.  Introduced by Bob Head of Head-Lea Nursery. 

While Wisteria frutescens ‘Amethyst Falls’ is typically celebrated for its fast growth habit and floriferous display of purple, pea-shaped blooms clustered together into grape-like formations, its golden fall color shouldn’t be ignored. The delightfully warm, sunny fall foliage tends to linger on the twining, twirling branches and stems for a week or so longer than many of its shrubby friends. Even still, once this native, low-maintenance vine has defoliated, its hypnotizing, climbing form and structure creates a magnificent effect in the winter garden, especially if allowed to clamber around on sunny pergolas that crave late-season interest. It’s here along the domestile or foundation planting with an overhead trellis where Wisteria frutescens ‘Amethyst Falls’ can create a lovely dappled shade lighting effect at the height of summer. Interestingly, our native Wisteria frutescens is easy to distinguish from other climbing vines, especially at the height of winter, due to its characteristic counter-clockwise twining formation.
