“Harlequin” is a variety of the commonly known, Japanese Wisteria, and is grown for its highly fragrant blooms. This variety produces two-toned blue flowers in spring, just as the new leaves appear. At this time, highly fragrant, cascading racemes are borne, producing an amazing display. The foliage is lush, mid-green, and develops yellow tones in autumn before falling. This woody climber will easily reach 10 m or more but can easily be contained with trimming. Best performance with this plant is achieved when it is grown in full sun on a well-drained site. It is tolerant of frost, cool climates, some wind, and periods of dry. “Harlequin” is commonly used as a climber along a fence, trellis, or the like and should be planted so the beauty and fragrance of this plant can be enjoyed. It is well suited to cottage gardens or for transforming a bland fence.
