“In pale moonlight...the wisteria’s scent...comes from far away.” -Yosa Buson, Japanese poet
Each Spring in the Temecula Valley, Wisteria trees put on a spectacular display of wonderfully fragrant flowers with cascading blooms. If you’re planning a trip here in late April or early May, it’s worth seeking them out.
Known botanically as Wisteria sinensis, Wisteria first came to the U.S. in the early 1800s from Asia. This woody vine boasts stunning blooms within the first five years of planting, grows 10 to 25 feet or higher, and can live for a hundred years or more.
