'Amethyst Falls' American Wisteria is a fast-growing twining deciduous vine native to the States with small leaves.  The drooping raceme sporting fragrant pea-like lilac flowers bloom on new growth, attracting bees and butterflies in spring with a light rebloom in summer.  Flat brown seedpods follow the flowers.  Blooms best in full sun and well-drained soil.  Amethyst Falls is not an aggressive spreader, but has low toxicity.
