Wisteria frutescens 'Nivea,' commonly known as American White Wisteria, is a native, non-invasive vine that showcases elegant, fragrant white flower clusters in late spring to early summer. Unlike its more aggressive cousins, this variety is well-mannered and easier to manage, making it an ideal choice for pergolas, trellises, or fences. Its lush green foliage provides a beautiful backdrop to the cascading blooms, creating a classic, romantic garden feel. It's a great alternative to more invasive wisteria species, providing a stunning floral display without the worry of aggressive growth.

Thrives in full sun but can tolerate partial shade, although it may produce fewer blooms in lower light. This vigorous vine prefers well-drained, slightly acidic soils and will benefit from a sturdy support structure as it matures. Pruning after flowering encourages more blooms and keeps the vine tidy.
