Rocketliners® are sized, shaped and rooted throughout the pot with strong and responsive roots. Gardeners can expect a finished healthy plant within a single growing season. They have greater fresh root mass and vertical root training which promotes faster finishing times. While it can often take up to 3 years for a shrub or vine to get fully established growing from bareroot, Rocketliners® may only take 12 months, saving you up to 2 seasons of waiting time. Rocketliners® are for gardeners that have busy lives, little time to waste and want to start out with the best planting stock.
About this Variety
Wisteria Amethyst Falls (Wisteria frutescens 'Amethyst Falls') is a good choice for smaller spaces as its rate of growth is much slower than the typical Asian wisterias. Blooms on young wood in its first year and is fragrant. Very adaptable throughout the garden and/or on the patio in a large container. A North American native selection.
