An Intricate and Graceful Cascade of Fragrant Lavender Lace
The Wisteria floribunda 'Lavender Lace' is a truly poetic variety, named for the delicate and airy appearance of its stunning flower clusters. Much like the fluttering petals of 'Minuet', this Japanese Wisteria brings a sense of refined elegance to the garden. It produces exceptionally long, slender racemes of soft lavender-purple flowers that hang in dense, lacy tresses, creating a spectacular "floral rain" effect during late spring.
As a vigorous Japanese climber, 'Lavender Lace' is a reliable performer that twines gracefully in a clockwise direction. Its flowers are not only beautiful to look at but also carry a heady, sweet fragrance that can fill an entire garden on a warm afternoon. The flowers open sequentially from the top of the raceme downwards, ensuring a long-lasting display that looks magnificent draped over a doorway or cascading from a high pergola.

At The Rose Press Garden, we love 'Lavender Lace' for its airy, ethereal quality. Unlike some of the denser varieties, this Wisteria has a delicate, light feel that truly resembles fine lace. From a distance, it looks like a soft purple waterfall, but up close, the intricate detail of each blossom and the sheer elegance of the long racemes make it a joy to admire.
