Description: Millettia reticulata, Wine Wisteria, Summerwine Wisteria Evergreen wisteria (Millettia reticulata) has a confusing name, because it is not a true wisteria, nor is it evergreen everywhere that it grows. It is a gorgeous, reliable, fragrant flowering vine that will climb to a height of 30 feet in favorable growing conditions. Plant it with support to provide lush shade over a walkway or patio, or use it to create a thick living wall on a trellis or cables. Unlike the lavender-blooming Chinese and Japanese wisteria (Wisteria sinensis and W. floribunda), evergreen wisteria is not an invasive plant. Plant it in autumn to establish the roots through the winter. It will quickly cover a pergola, provide a perfumed scent and attract pollinators throughout the spring and summer. Botanical name: Millettia reticulata Common names: Evergreen wisteria, summer wisteria Origin: Southern China Where it will grow: Hardy to 10 degrees Fahrenheit, or minus 12 degrees Celsius (USDA zones 8 to 11; evergreen throughout the winter in zones 9b and 10; semideciduous in zones 9a and 8 Soil requirement: Adaptable to any well-draining soil Light requirement: Full to partial sun Mature size: Can reach 15 to 30 feet high and 15 feet wide (3 to 6 feet wide at the base) Benefits and tolerances: Very fragrant flowers; blooms during intense summer heat; drought tolerant; attracts pollinators; a good noninvasive alternative to Chinese wisteria (Wisteria sinensis) and Japanese wisteria (W. floribunda) Seasonal interest: Large, colorful blooms all summer When to plant: Autumn is preferable to establish roots during the winter, but it can be planted year-round. Hardwood: Propagation by stem cuttings is the most commonly used method to propagate many woody ornamental plants. Stem cuttings of many favorite shrubs are quite easy to root. Typically, stem cuttings of tree species are more difficult to root. However, cuttings from trees such as crape myrtles, some elms, and birches can be rooted.
