They have twisting trunks and large, purple or pink flowers that hang down from them. When you think of wisteria, you probably think of these types, draping their foot-long blossoms from high tree branches and growing wild along highways.<\/p>\n<p>When these non-native vines are introduced into American forests (often accidentally by well-meaning gardeners), they quickly spread. They block light and water, create dense thickets, interfere with the growth of new saplings, and can even pulli large trees down with their heavy, woody stems.<\/p>\n<p>Chinese and Japanese wisterias are considered invasive species, but you can still buy them. It\u2019s also tempting to take a cutting or sprout from a vine that\u2019s grown naturally. However, unless you plan to be extra diligent in training and controlling your wisteria, you may want to think twice about bringing it into your yard.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone size-full wp-image-31017\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"510\" height=\"250\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" alt=\"American wisteria in bloom\" class=\"wp-image-31017 lazyload\" data-lazy-data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/d7fcfvvxwoz9e.cloudfront.net\/dom43635\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/native-alternative-invasive-imported-wisteria-3.jpg 510w, https:\/\/d7fcfvvxwoz9e.cloudfront.net\/dom43635\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/native-alternative-invasive-imported-wisteria-3-400x196.jpg 400w, https:\/\/d7fcfvvxwoz9e.cloudfront.net\/dom43635\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/native-alternative-invasive-imported-wisteria-3-230x113.jpg 230w, https:\/\/d7fcfvvxwoz9e.cloudfront.net\/dom43635\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/native-alternative-invasive-imported-wisteria-3-100x49.jpg 100w\" data-lazy-data-sizes=\"(max-width: 510px) 100vw, 510px\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/d7fcfvvxwoz9e.cloudfront.net\/dom43635\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/native-alternative-invasive-imported-wisteria-3.jpg\"\/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"510\" height=\"250\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/d7fcfvvxwoz9e.cloudfront.net\/dom43635\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/native-alternative-invasive-imported-wisteria-3.jpg\" alt=\"American wisteria in bloom\" class=\"wp-image-31017 lazyload\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/d7fcfvvxwoz9e.cloudfront.net\/dom43635\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/native-alternative-invasive-imported-wisteria-3.jpg 510w, https:\/\/d7fcfvvxwoz9e.cloudfront.net\/dom43635\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/native-alternative-invasive-imported-wisteria-3-400x196.jpg 400w, https:\/\/d7fcfvvxwoz9e.cloudfront.net\/dom43635\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/native-alternative-invasive-imported-wisteria-3-230x113.jpg 230w, https:\/\/d7fcfvvxwoz9e.cloudfront.net\/dom43635\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/native-alternative-invasive-imported-wisteria-3-100x49.jpg 100w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 510px) 100vw, 510px\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Less invasive native American wisteria in bloom.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Native Alternative: American Wisteria<\/h2>\n<p>As an alternative, consider growing the less invasive American wisteria (<em>Wisteria frutescens<\/em>). Native to eastern North America, this beautiful vine is every bit as spectacular, with slightly smaller blooms that sometimes repeat in the fall. However, it\u2019s less invasive than its Asian cousins and much less likely to get out of control.<\/p>\n<p>The easiest way to identify American wisteria is by the blooms. While Asian species have elongated blossoms with loose dripping petals, the blooms of American wisteria are shorter, rounder, and more compact (rather pinecone shaped). <\/p>\n<p>While the flowers of American wisteria are less aromatic than Asian wisteria, they\u2019re just as beautiful. You can also identify American wisteria by its smooth seed pods, compared with the fuzzy seed pots of Chinese and Japanese species.<\/p>\n<p>When planting American wisteria, don\u2019t be fooled by its claim to be harmless. American wisteria is very aggressive, quickly covering trees and growing tall in the trees. Also, it\u2019s faster to establish and more cold-tolerant than Asian wisteria. American wisteria is native to southeastern wetlands, where it grows in partial sun.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tip\" style=\"border-color: #347235; background: #C3FDB8;\">\n<h4><strong>Wisteria Fact<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Did you know that different species of wisteria vines twine in different directions?

They quickly can disrupt ecosystems, driving away pollinators, hummingbirds, native shrubs, ground cover, and some can have negative health impacts on humans.<\/p>\n<p>Key features of invasive plants are rapid growth and reproduction, and the ability to outcompete native species. They lack natural predators or controls in their new environment, and can adapt to a wide range of environmental conditions.<\/p>\n<p>Because they spread quickly, and take over resources of the plants around them, invasive plants can damage your garden. Some include English ivy (from Europe), Asian bittersweet, Chinese privet, Japanese honeysuckle, Japanese barberry, and burning bush (all from Asia).<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<hr class=\"my-2\"\/>\n<div class=\"hm-faq__item\">\n<h3 class=\"faqQuestion accordion mb-0\">\n                        What is the best non-invasive wisteria?                    <\/h3>\n<div class=\"faqAnswer panel\">\n<p>The best non-invasive wisteria options are usually native species that are less aggressive than their Asian counterparts.<\/p>\n<p>American wisteria is native to the southeastern United States.

Kentucky wisteria is native to the southern-central United States and is more cold-hardy than American wisteria. Kentucky wisteria also blooms later than Asian species.
