Cooke’s Purple Wisteria
Wisteria sinensis ‘Cooke’s Purple'
Cooke’s Purple is a prized selection of Chinese Wisteria celebrated for its reliable tendency to rebloom. After its main spectacular show of violet-blue flowers in spring, it often produces a second, lighter flush of blooms in summer. This extends the seasonal interest and makes it a favorite among wisteria enthusiasts.
-
Known for its reliable repeat-blooming characteristic, offering a primary heavy bloom in spring and a welcome encore of flowers in mid to late summer.
-
Slightly less aggressively vegetative in its growth than some other Chinese varieties, making it somewhat easier to manage while still requiring firm support and pruning.
-
Produces standard, fragrant, violet-blue flower clusters during its main bloom.
