A Rich Jewel of Intense Colour and Fragrance
The Wisteria sinensis 'Amethyst' is a show-stopping variety, celebrated for its deep, jewel-toned blooms and one of the most powerful fragrances of all Wisterias. Much like the graceful 'Minuet', it creates a captivating atmosphere in the garden, with long, pendulous racemes of violet-purple, pea-like flowers that hang in elegant clusters. These stunning blooms emerge in late spring, creating a heavy, lilac-scented curtain before the bronze-tinted young foliage fully expands.
Known for being a reliable and vigorous performer, 'Amethyst' often begins flowering at a younger age than many other varieties. Its clockwise-twining stems are perfect for adding height and drama to garden structures. Whether it's draped over a doorway or covering a sun-drenched wall, this Wisteria provides a sensory experience like no other, combining striking visual beauty with a heady, sweet perfume that defines the essence of late spring.

At The Rose Press Garden, we love 'Amethyst' for its richness. The deep purple hue is more intense than your standard lilac Wisteria, making it a real focal point. From a distance, it looks like a waterfall of violet; up close, the intricate beauty of each flower and the sheer strength of its scent make it a joy to experience every spring.
