Blue Chinese Wisteria Chinese Wisterias are deciduous. The vine often climbs trees, and is most striking when seen in full bloom draped from the limbs of a high pine. Chinese Wisteria is a shade tolerant vine, but it only blooms when grown in partial to full sun. It is perfect for covering patios, arbors or fences. This plant is often grown with multiple trunks but it can be trained to a single trunk as a small tree. It is probably best used for training to grow onto an arbor where flowers can droop and form a fragrant ceiling of color. Leaves consist of 7 to 13 leaflets of large size; after flowering, very attractive, velvety pods are produced, containing seed.
