Blue Moon Wisteria (Wisteria macrostachya ‘Blue Moon’) is a non-invasive selected cultivar of Kentucky wisteria, known for its incredibly fragrant and sweet smell, but also its hardiness. Blue Moon’ is extra-hardy; It blooms in late spring or early summer, and it’s cold hardy to -40°F (-40°C). The lilac-blue flowers are large, showy, and held in foot-long racemes that bloom up to three times each summer assuring fragrant blooms and unmatched beauty all summer long.
Wisteria is a long-lived vining plant that looks spectacular hanging from a pergola or archway in spring and early summer. Wisterias climb by twining their stems around any available support. These flowers provide ample nectar and pollen for the bees and other pollinating insects. Since wisteria is an early bloomer, usually reaching its peak around the end of May or early June, bees flock to the wisteria vine as an early and bountiful food source making it a great addition to any pollinator garden.
