(White) Wisteria floribunda ‘Alba’

Wisteria floribunda ‘Alba’

Graceful, romantic, and breathtaking in full bloom, Wisteria floribunda ‘Alba’ is a spectacular deciduous climber prized for its long, cascading clusters of pure white, delicately fragrant flowers. Flowering in spring, the elegant pendulous blooms create a dramatic waterfall effect, transforming pergolas, arches, walls, and trellises into show-stopping garden features.

This vigorous grower produces masses of blossoms before and alongside fresh green foliage, creating a striking seasonal display. ‘Alba’ offers a softer, more refined alternative to traditional purple wisterias, making it ideal for classic, cottage, and contemporary garden designs alike.

Perfect for South African gardens, this hardy climber thrives in sunny positions and, once established, becomes a long-lived feature that increases in beauty year after year.

Although these are large plants (20litres) we still can courier them nationwide.

Growing Tips

Plant in a sunny, sheltered position with fertile, well-draining soil. Provide a strong support structure as mature plants become heavy. Water regularly while establishing, then moderately thereafter. Prune twice yearly (mid-summer and winter) to maintain shape and promote prolific flowering. Wisteria may take a few seasons to establish before flowering begins, but once mature, it delivers an unforgettable display each spring.
