A Mythical Cascade of Double Violet Blooms

The Wisteria floribunda 'Ed's Blue Dragon' is a truly legendary variety, named for the rich, powerful appearance of its unique flowers. Much like the decorative 'Minuet', it brings a sense of drama and movement to the garden. Unlike standard varieties, 'Ed's Blue Dragon' features spectacular double flowers, meaning each blossom is packed with extra petals, giving the long, pendulous racemes a thick, lush, and almost "ruffled" appearance in a striking shade of violet-blue.

As a vigorous Japanese climber, this variety is a reliable and hardy performer that twines gracefully in a clockwise direction. The flower clusters can reach up to 35-40cm in length, hanging like heavy, jewelled braids from their branches in late spring. With an intensely sweet fragrance that drifts through the air, it transforms any structure into a focal point of scent and colour, while the fresh green foliage provides a beautiful, dense screen throughout the summer.

Key features:

• Stunning Double Flowers: Rare, multi-petalled blooms that create a fuller, richer look.

• Intense Violet-Blue Colour: Deep lavender and violet tones that stand out brilliantly.

• Heady Sweet Fragrance: One of the more aromatic varieties, perfect for scented gardens.

• Vigorous Japanese Habit: A strong, clockwise-twining climber ideal for large structures.

• Long-Lasting Display: Double flowers tend to provide a denser and more impactful bloom.

Perfect for:

• Training over sturdy pergolas and arbours to appreciate the double blooms from below.

• Covering house walls and fences for a classic, high-impact floral display.

• Gardeners looking for a rare variety to add to their collection.

• Cottage gardens and romantic, traditional garden designs.

At The Rose Press Garden, we love 'Ed's Blue Dragon' for its sheer opulence. Most Wisterias have single, pea-like flowers, but the "double" nature of this variety makes it look like something out of a fairy tale. From a distance, it looks like a thick cloud of purple; up close, the intricate layers of petals and the deep, rich fragrance are simply breathtaking.
