This video is a detailed description of Amethyst Falls Wisteria. Amethyst Falls is a less aggressive Wisteria variety that is easy to keep under control. It is a vine that gets clusters of purple flowers in the mid spring with some residual flowers in the summer. Amethyst Falls Wisteria is a sterile variety so it will not seed itself into other areas.

In the South we literally fight Wisteria with heavy machinery. My mother could never get rid of it. It grows on just air here 😂
Mine just flowered for the 1st time, I had it four years now.
I just bought one that looks exactly like this demo for $60.00 at Lowe’s (5/2022) it is very pretty and healthy! I hope it will give me lot of flowers and will fill the fence quick .
Wish to find another one to add to the other end of the fence!
Thanks for the instruction!
I got mine from lowes for $6 0-0
Where you live? In north carolina it's much cheaper
Could you also demonstrate how to prune this kind of wisteria
Many thanks. I've just bought this wisteria hoping it could stand up to another drought if one should come along. We do seem to be getting reasonable rainfall tho this year. We are going to be buying a gothic gazebo a centre piece for our new garden and the wisteria will be allowed to climb it. I'm so grateful for those who post with their expertise for people to freely learn from. Thanks again.
I am in zone 6 and I want one of these trained as a tree in a sunny part of my front garden almost as a stand alone piece. Thanks again you've helped my plan a full side of my garden this year and helped narrow down my plants for the next shadier half.
Hi - I'm scared of this. I was told it will ruin my fence. I really want to learn about this being a tree! That seems like the perfect solution.
Thanks for the watering tip. I just planted a 4’ vine and was watering every other day.
Is it the root or branches we need to be aware of? I planted an amethyst on the corner fence with neighbors. 20 ft away from my house. I wanted to grow it for years and finally got one.
About to plant one into my garden area and Al exited for the blooms
Thank you so much for this video. Very informative! I recently purchased 4 of these at my local Walmart.
Thank you for this helpful video. I just brought one home today and now all my questions are answered.
Do you have any videos with more details on growing Amethyst Falls Wisteria into a tree?
I’d like this too!
Thanks for all the helpful advice. I am enjoying your videos. Do you think it is okay to plant a perennial with a height of 18 inches in front of this wisteria?
Great video!
How difficult would it be to make a wall of American wisteria in zone 8a?
What grows tallest: American wisteria or White Moonflower Vine?
What would be best for growing a natural dome over a small fruit & vegetable garden?
The garden is 50’x50’, and growth can reach about 6’ in height.
Do they grow underground roots?
Great stuff! How far would I need to prune this back if i were to use it as a "roof" for my pergola?
I bought my vine a few weeks ago it’s about the same height as this one but no leaves on it I bought it from heb and I wondering when will it start sprouting some green off the vine?
Thanks, Jim. I biught a wisteria (not this one, unfortunately) over a year ago and it is still in the nursery pot because it was an impulse buy and I didnt have a plan for where to put it. At one point, i thought maybe i would have it in a trellis against the house, but i have siding and that just felt dangerous. I know they can kill trees and i dont want to risk that. So, still dont know what to do with it. I would very much appreciate if you could do a video that explains in great detail exactly how to train them to tree form. Thank you!
Awesome job....
Nice video! Keep it up!
+MisterBassBoost Thank you
Hi I've had my Wisteria AF for at least 3 years and it hasn't bloomed yet I get plenty of rain and full sun where it is it just got a dose of high phosphate i just don't know what else to do.
Jim do you have an update on this one?
Can you plant this in a pot? Do they loose all their leaves in winter or when will they start back?
My amethyst falls bloomed for the first time this season and for those who are wondering what they smell like musky vat urine but my question is is there anything I can do to change this at least make it smell a little bit more pleasing? Maybe a ammendment of some kind?
I live in NE Indiana..This summer I planted two plants, They are growing well. Sadly a lot of leaves are turning yellow and fall off.. Is this an iron problem of water??..
Thank you, Rhonda S from IN
Can this grow in Ventura County, California is in USDA Hardiness Zones 7a, 7b, 8a, 8b, 9a, 9b, 10a and 10b.
How far from the house would you plant this?
Are there varieties of Wisteria that are better suited to tree form? I’m thinking of braiding a white wisteria with Amethyst.
My question would be could I grow Wisteria brachybotrys Shiro Kapitan (White version) in a large pot and train on a hard landscaped terrace with no borders in my garden?
One of my favorite vines ✨✌🏼
Ive recently added this plant into my yard, but im reading some describing the scent as cat urine, do you agree?
It does have a pungent cat pee smell, but it is so beautiful that it is worth it. I have 3.
How deep do I place 4x4 post arbor for support and how high
Great video! Can you keep this in a pot?
Semoga sehat dan sukses selalu , hadir mengikuti 🙏🙏
I planted an amethyst falls wisteria 3 years ago in an area that gets a lot of sun. Soil is decent. but I barely get any growth- maybe six inches or so per year. Tiny flowers start to form then disappear, and it's just generally been a weak plant. This is in the NYC area. Any idea what might be wrong? Thanks.
That was very helpful. Thanks.
Great tutorial. I think we had that creeping vine. It made good shade??
One point missing is it is a native species in North America. Plant this instead of Asian varieties.
Hi Jim I just ordered Amethyst last evening from Fast Growing Trees. I have full 6-8 hours of full sun directly. I have a white vinyl fence that wraps around my yard. I wonder if I should plant it as a vine or a tree. I am leaning towards a tree because I don't want to poke anything on the fence. Or I can have it wrap around my deck. I will prune it every year because I know they are super fast growers.
Beautiful😍
I watered mine everyday and it died. :( I'm getting another one. Wish me luck with this one!
Hi, I have about 8-9’ tall wisteria just like what you have on this video, I planted next pergola, hoping to clime on to it, I just wondering if I should take vines from stake that it’s winded around, and rewind around pergola, and if that’s possible, would you advise me when should I do this.
Thank you in advance.

Was this grown from seed or cutting?
I can't get mine to grow at all!! In a pot outside full sun it's really struggling to take off! What soil should I use?
Would I be able to safely train this to climb a wooden fence? I've heard that it's so heavy that it isn't advised, but I have seen it done before.
My daughter has one in pot . It’s about 5 ft. Should we bring it in the basement over the winter.
Jim, how's this look now? I'm weighing options and considering macrostachya "blue moon".
We planted 5 of what was labeled 'Amethyst Falls' (by a big Louisiana grower notorious for haphazard labeling). The leaves are slightly more glossy, with slightly less-pronounced veination than yours, and a slightly more yellow green. The flowers are slightly less 'organized' than the Amethyst Falls we see in pictures, and the color is a much deeper violet. Also, the fragrance is definitely not 'Lavender', as I've read in one place. And it isn't "slight", either. It's a rich grape jelly/Kool-Aid/purple candy fragrance (like Kudzu, actually), which 'travels' several feet, and is remarked-upon by visitors. I'm definitely not complaining. We bought the plants, because of the rich yellow-green (and even keyed an accent paint color to it - Sherwin Williams 'Sassy Green', we love it so much). Same with the bloom color and the fragrance (and the bloom time - mid-summer until cool weather has set-in - a time when blooms are scarce, around the Louisiana house). The growth habit seems the same as 'Amethyst Falls', but WHAT DO WE HAVE? All five of our plants seem identical, and so they're probably not seed-grown. But what on earth did the Grower propagate? Are there other famous cultivars of Wisteria Frutescens? (aside from 'Longwood Purple', which, unlike ours, has leaves exactly like 'Amethyst Falls')?
But specific to YOUR plant, landscapers down here use it a lot, for their better clients, and nobody has anything to say about 'Amethyst Falls', except how much they love it. It's considered the "no-worries, won't-eat-your-house" option.
nice thank you very informative.
Trying to grow some from seed now.
Hello, can this be grown in zone 4? Thanks
Hi, I’m first time Wisteria grower, and I almost kill it once, but I saved by planting in ground, now getting all the leaves back, and growing taller, I’m leading it to go over pergola, but the tip of vine was eaten by something when just about reach to top of pergola, what can it be and what is solution for it? Thank you in advance!
Kayoko living in TN.
thank you - you re amazing.
Can I use Amethyst wisteria as a ground cover on a massive hillside?
This wisteria flowers can be planted in a big pots? thanks,
can you spray these with lavender spray for pests or not ?
I've been told you could grow one of these in a large container. Any ideas or suggestions?
In our experience, vines do better in containers, than most other plants. We like making bamboo 'pyramids' for our potted vines, tied, at the top, with raffia or Wild Grape vines.
Hi!!! I bought mine a couple of weeks ago and was blooming a whole lot about the size of yours. I went ahead and put it in full sun as I researched and was told full sun. A bit confused becouse at the nursery I bought from they were under a tree getting dapppled sun light. After a week my blooms dried up and fell off all of them. Contacted the nursery here in North Carolina and told me to just give it morning sun preferably. I moved it in an area with only morning sun I’m noticing growth and looks like buds.My question is do you have any idea what happened should I keep it in full sun and could it bloom again?
Likely transplant shock, both with the stronger light and re-planting. It should be well adjusted now, any update?
How old is the wisteria in the video? Im growing mine from seed
Not to burst your bubble, but you may be waiting a LONG time for that thing to flower, if at all. Cutting grow plants are far more reliable. They take about 3 years to flower, so I'd say that would be about how old the one in the video is.
Hi, I'm unsure whether to snip off the flower spikes things after all the flowers have fallen off? If so how many leaf nodes should I cut down to?
Or is this what you mean by taking off new growth to 5/6 leaf stems? I wasn't sure whether that was just in relation to the Vine growth.
+Paul Monks I would clean it up after it blooms. Just take off what you need to. This is a plant that you don't have to think about when you prune. It is very hardy.
HortTube with Jim Putnam Thankyou
I have heard this wisteria smells bad is this true?? Thanks
Thanks Jim! I have this exact variety. It bloomed nicely about a month ago here in Pittsburgh, PA. It has many seedpods right now-- do you know if I can propagate via those seeds? How do I do that?- when they are dried out? Do I have to stratify the seeds? Or should I just try sticking a cutting in the ground now and see if it will root? I have a place where I want to start two more vines. Thanks Jeremy
Any luck with propagation I just bought my vine and would love to propagate myself.
@@mb-qj5yo yes, I took cuttings in early March and literally stuck them in the ground about 6 inches and the rooted on their own
I've got my small wisteria 2 or 3 years ago - it hasn't grown an inch, hasn't flowered either. It's on the east side (I read it prefers that before I planted it). The soil has added compost. What can be wrong?
It need more direct sunlight girl , don’t fertilize these plants fix their own nitrogen
Living in central florida, and within 2 days it lost all of its leaves.
Wondering what I can possibly do?
maybe the climate is too hot (florida=subtropical). Wisteria cames from a northern memoral climate.
Thank you for this, I bought two nursery wisteria and one was over watered and the other grew new limbs and then rotted while the soil was dry. I have had o luck so far but hope for another chance soon, any recommendation on soil type/texture/composition? Wood ash or grainy sand mixed in?
@Kory Klukan I've used that recipe before too and it's really the best! 1 part sand, 1 part peat moss, and 1 part cheap garden soil. I live in zone 5 with super red clay soil, so I can't plant much without adding this soil mixture. I just planted this Amethyst Falls wisteria and probably should have spent more time on the soil.
@Kory Klukan Thanks so much!! I live in the Cayman Islands and while it is tedious to grow sensitive plants due to the sea breeze it is possible. No Home Depot here 🤣 But I can definitely substitute with what we have here and I can start composting now. Thank you for the detailed assistance, much appreciated!
I have one that is about 20 yrs. old and kept it under control would I be able to move this and how deep do the roots go? Thank you
It could be hard to get out. It can be cut way back and then transplanted, but it may put up a fight. Should recover well though.
I am in zone 5. I want this as a tree. Assuming I cannot find one that has been trained as a tree, (or grafted), how long would you think it will take to train it with stakes?
About 5 years
Hi! My wisteria got yellow spots on the leaves! How can I save it? Thanks!
Mine too, hoping for an answer here. It was lush and gorgeous, now it looks sickly.
Is this wisteria an evergreen
Does this plant have a good smell?
Yes it does, very fragrant.
I am looking to ppurchase a Wisteria. Are there 2-types - Tree wisteria and Vine wisteria? or are they one in the same? Also, how large a plant should you buy initially ?
They are all Vining as far as I know, but can be trained as trees
can this grow in florida?
Where did you go? Are you still in Johnston County?
I have planted one this past spring and it is in a very sunny spot. How can I get it to rebloom this season?
Wisteria bloom on new wood so they can pruned hard in late winter. You could take a little off now, but I doubt you would get any new flowers this late in the season. Especially one that is newly planted this year.
Can you grow these in a large pot and bring them inside over the winter. I would like to start a plant, but then bring it with us when we move several years from now
, so I would prefer not to plant it in the ground
It will be fine this season and the first winter. I think that long term it grows so aggressively that it will outgrow the container.
@@JimPutnam will out grow the house too? like eat it? so many differing opinions especially of root system.
Hey, I have an amethyst falls growing on the side of my house and love it. When you said they will get residual flowers, do I need to do anything to do that? Mine has just flowered and is coming to the end of those first flowers that started in April ish. Any help would be great. Thanks
+Paul Monks It will put on some new growth first. You can do some pruning on it now if it needs it
HortTube with Jim Putnam thanks for the quick reply. Should I deadhead the spent flowers?
If wisteria does begin to get root rot, is there a way to recover it?
It is tough enough to regrow from living roots, but you won't know until you know. Sometimes vines that die to the ground take until June to come back.
i have cutting in small container i'm in augusta ga is it too late to plant in ground? it's oct 5
+Deborah Thomas If it is a small rooted cutting, it would be better off in the container. Just bring it in on the coldest nights. Leave it outside otherwise and plant it in the spring.
I have a vine destroying my trees .It is definitely wisteria. It is growing like no ones business. It has the same purple flowers. I want it GONE. Any ideas on how to kill it?
+nagra bagra you have to saw it off at the ground. Then you can paint some brush killer on it where the cut was made. Perhaps it could covered with plastic and killed
Once i cut it at ground level, will the vines in the trees die? If that is the case then all i have to do is paint the part i cut and sticking out of the ground? These vines are rabid!! They have killed three tree so far, and they are all over several more. I guess you know what i'm going to be doing all summer.......
Oh good! thank you! Now you know what i'm going to be doing most of the summer.... : (
so sad or you might be a wisteria shill.
how old is that plant?
+Laura B maybe two years
and it's already blooming?! I heard that it take 15 years to bloom! I have hope now. that's what has been deterring me to buy one.
Laura B what a beautiful flower you are!😍
Laura B laura, make sure you buy one that is flowering when you buy it. Then you know you wont have to wait. Generally speaking, i think the grafted ones are going to flower right away but many propagated from cuttings will take years to bloom.
How to buy
deer resistant +
How thick and heavy do these vines get? I bought one to put on a vinyl fence with a latticed top, but I’m afraid it will thicken and either break through the fence or become too heavy and the weight will destroy it. This happened to my parents who bought one, but I think it might have been one of the Chinese or Japanese varieties. I love it and can’t wait to plant it, but I don’t want it causing several thousand dollars worth of fence damage. Please help!
Wisteria of any kind would likely be tough on a vinyl fence over time. You may want to reinforce the fence where you are planting it.
Everyone talks about the plant but not the soil 😫
Say more…
Dont worry for the people who dislike this there saying Dis I like
I have it for 16 years never flower!
HELP!!!!
