Wisteria ‘Black Dragon’ is propagated from high-quality Japanese Wisteria stock to ensure strong growth, robust foliage, and consistent, true-to-type flowering. Supplied as a potted plant, it is grown in nutrient-rich, well-draining compost that encourages healthy root development while maintaining sufficient moisture. Plants are carefully selected to produce the distinctive characteristics of ‘Black Dragon’: the deep violet-purple double flowers, abundant raceme formation, and vigorous but manageable climbing habit.
The pendulous racemes, typically 30–40 cm long, are densely packed with multi-petalled flowers that create a lush, ruffled effect. These double blooms are highly fragrant, releasing a rich, sweet perfume that enhances sensory appeal in spring gardens. The racemes’ dark violet hue is among the deepest available in Wisteria varieties, offering high-impact visual drama that contrasts beautifully against fresh green foliage.
Wisteria ‘Black Dragon’ is supplied as a 3L potted plant, typically 40–60 cm tall at delivery. Once established, it can grow to 5–7 metres in height with a spread of 2–4 metres, suitable for pergolas, arbours, walls, or trellises.
Flower racemes measure 30–40 cm, densely packed with rich violet double flowers, creating a dramatic, ruffled curtain effect. Blooming in late spring, the pendulous clusters hang elegantly, releasing an intense, sweet fragrance.
The plant’s vigorous climbing habit allows it to cover vertical structures efficiently while maintaining a manageable and decorative shape when pruned correctly. Foliage emerges bright green, turning golden yellow in autumn, providing seasonal interest and summer coverage. Ideal for creating vertical focal points, shaded pergola walkways, or striking garden displays, ‘Black Dragon’ adds elegance, height, and a sensory-rich feature to any outdoor space.
