มี Wisteria อีกมากมายหลายสายพันธุ์ที่อยากได้มาครอบครอง โดยเฉพาะพวกลูกผสมที่ออกดอกไวใน 2-3 ปี แต่ช้าแต่ ตอนนี้ก็ได้แต่ทำ Wist List ไปก่อนล่ะน๊า
Wisteria floribunda 'Macrobotrys'
Probably the first cultivar of Asian Wisteria to reach the West, in fact this cultivar may have been the form that was first introduced to the West & first named W. multijuga in the 1870’s. These super long racemed forms have been documented & written about in Japan for over 400 years & go by many names. Whether they are all different or not is up for debate. Countless cultivars of Wisteria have been named since often with sexier names but few if any can hold a candle to a Macrobotrys in flower. - PlantMad Nursery
Wisteria floribunda 'Black Dragon'
In his Book Wisterias, Peter Valder writes that ‘Black Dragon’ is an invalid name for an old Japanese cultivar introduced to the west with the name ‘Violacea Plena’ (f. violacea plena) in the 1860’s. The name Black Dragon was probably adopted much later because one of the Japanese names for the plant is ‘Kokuryu’ meaning Black Dragon or ‘Yae Kokuryu’ (Double Black Dragon). The trouble is that this name is also used in Japan for another cultivar ‘Royal Purple’ ‘Hitoe Kokuryu’ (Single Black Dragon). I have purchased the plant under both names from multiple sources over the years, if there are any differences between ‘Violacea Plena’ & ‘Black Dragon’ then they are small at best. - PlantMad Nursery
Wisteria 'Royal Purple'
Another Steve Hottovy of Beyond Green Nursery introduction, similar to 'Southern Belle'. Flowers & growth habit are similar to the Dutch cultivar 'Prolific' & the New Zealand cultivar 'Caroline'. Flower racemes are short but cover the plant in abundance & emerge before any foliage begins to grow. Perhaps the most early flowering of all Wisterias, reliably flowers in it's second year & also has a very good second bloom on new wood in June & July. - PlantMad Nursery
Wisteria frutescens 'Amethyst Falls'
Wisteria 'Amethyst Falls' has bright green foliage that resists pests and disease and produces blue flowers that are lovely for arbors and containers. Like other Wisteria, is a strong grower, reaching 30 feet or more. It is, however, not invasive like its Asian cousins. This native variety is less vigorous and easier to manage, refraining from choking out trees over time. 'Amethyst Falls' flowers sooner than the Asian types (some of which can take 10 years or more), blooming its first season with fragrant, vividly blue flowers on 4- to 6-inch racemes that appear in spring and repeat all summer. Its bloom also arrive about two weeks later than others, so late-winter frosts seldom affect flowering. - Wayside Gardens
