Kuchi Beni Japanese Wisteria (Wisteria floribunda 'Kuchi Beni') is a deciduous climber to about 8m with long racemes of pale blush-pink to white flowers tipped with mauve-pink. The name means 'red lips', which is an apt description of the delicate coloured edges that give the clusters a soft, two-tone look in spring.

Why you'll love it

  • Soft two-tone flowers. Pale blush-pink to white blooms with mauve-pink tips look more delicate than the usual violet.
  • Long racemes. The clusters hang well down, so the display reads clearly from a distance.
  • Fragrant. It carries the sweet spring scent that Japanese wisteria is known for.
  • Frost hardy. Cold winters suit it and support flowering.
  • Cool summer shade. Finely divided leaves create dappled shade over a pergola.

Where it works best

Soft colour schemes. It suits cottage and pastel gardens beside roses and white-flowering shrubs. Plant 4m apart.

Pergolas and arbours. Provide sturdy posts and plenty of height for the long racemes.

Courtyard walls. Train it along wires and keep stems away from gutters.

Growing Kuchi Beni in Australia

Position and climate. Full sun in a sheltered spot. It is best in cool temperate and warm temperate gardens. In humid subtropical areas it grows but flowers less, and it is not suited to the tropics.

Soil. Fertile, well-drained soil. Go easy on nitrogen.

Water and feed. Water deeply in its first two summers and in dry spells later. Apply potash after flowering.

Pruning. Cut long summer shoots to 5 or 6 buds after flowering, then back to 2 or 3 buds in winter. Be patient with young plants as they may take a few seasons to flower. All parts of wisteria are toxic if eaten, especially the seeds and pods, so it is not a plant for gardens where children or pets chew what they find.

What to expect when it arrives

We sell Kuchi Beni in 200mm pots in packs of 6, 300mm pots and 400mm pots, the larger sizes being advanced stock with established stems. Plan on a few seasons of training for a full show. Our growers do not hold every size all year, so a size can show as on backorder at times. An order for a backorder size is confirmed with you before anything ships.

Plants are delivered Australia wide, with delivery from $29.95. Every plant is covered by our 30 day healthy plant guarantee.
