Evergreen tropical flowering subshrub/climber with trailing habit.  Native in east of Asia.  Easy to grow.  Best growing in full sun to partial shade location.  Fragrant white flowers in mid early spring to early summer.  Jasmine fragranced flowers attract bees and butterflies, also good for perfume.   Fruit ripe from green turn dark berries.  USDA Zones:9-11.  Mature size:5′(H) X3′-15′(W).   Propagate by seeds, cuttings or layering.  Medicinal.  Drought tolerant once established.  Excellent for hedges use.  Suitable for containers.

又稱青藤仔. 熱帶常綠開花亞灌木有著會垂墜能攀爬的枝條. 原生於東亞.  容易栽種.  最好栽種在全日照到半日照處.  仲春到初夏間開白色芳香的單瓣花.  花朵有著茉莉般的香氣,頗吸引蜂蝶也可應用於香水製造.  果實成熟時會由綠轉黑.  植株喜熱不耐寒.  成熟株高5呎,寬幅3-15呎. 繁殖以種子,扦插或壓條/高壓的方式來進行.  藥用.  植株穩定後頗為耐旱.  很適合作為綠籬.  可盆植.

Japanese Wisteria ‘Shiro Noda’ (Wisteria floribunda) 白花紫藤

Japanese Wisteria ‘Shiro Noda’ (Wisteria floribunda) 白花紫藤

Japanese Wisteria ‘Shiro Noda’ (Wisteria floribunda) There are two shoots growing first and turning green. 白花紫藤有2芽有芽動並轉綠了.

Japanese Wisteria ‘Shiro Noda’ (Wisteria floribunda) these shoots on cuttings are activated and turning green. 白花紫藤扦插枝條上的芽漸轉綠,開始有動靜了.

Japanese Wisteria ‘Shiro Noda’ (Wisteria floribunda) cam be propagated by cuttings.  This is how they look like when I got them.  日本白花紫藤可以枝條來扦插繁殖. 這是剛來才扦插的樣子.

White flower form Japanese wisteria vine.  Very hardy and easy to grow.  Best growing in full sun to partial shade location.  Mid spring to early summer with nice long fragrant white flowers.  Flowers attract bees and butterflies.     Propagate by seeds, cuttings, air layering or grafting.  USDA Zones:5-10. Mature size:30′-40′(H)/(L). But it can be trained as tree form for free standing.

*I am hoping to graft the shoots from white flower form to reblooming Wisteria plant.  In theory the white flower form shoots will flower once every season except winter.   But it is too cold to do so in winter…  I also germinated reblooming Wisteria seeds but their fragile stem are not woody enough to graft, perhaps in late spring or summer if these cuttings still alive to do so.  It will be better to root soon, of course.   Either way, it will be very interesting experiment!  Many thanks to my gardening friends’ help!  🙂

白花種的日本紫藤.  非常強健易於栽種.  最好栽種於全日照到半日照處.  仲春到初夏開花序蠻長流瀉而下的白色花串,優雅而清香.  花頗吸引蜂蝶.  以種子,枝條扦插,壓條或嫁接的方式來繁殖.  喜冷耐熱.  成熟株高30-40呎高/長.  但可以修剪來控制植株的大小或訓練成樹型.

*我是要來實驗將白花的紫藤芽嫁在續開紫藤上面,看這樣是否能借續開型除了冬季外每季開一次的好處,但這實驗由於季節不對,要等這些扦插枝條熬到春天能接時再說.  我也孵出了續開型紫藤的種子但枝芽太細尚未達木質化階段,嫁接困難.  所以也是得等到春天才行.  這會是個有趣的實驗!  在此感謝花友們的幫助!  🙂
