This is the classic, quintessential Japanese species vine, universally loved for its long, elegant violet racemes that open sequentially from the base to the tip. It creates a breathtaking, highly fragrant curtain of colour in mid-to-late spring. It is a towering, aggressive climber perfectly evolved to scramble up to the tops of tall trees in the wild.

To care for this iconic vine, you must act as the disciplinarian. It requires uncompromising support—flimsy wooden trellises will be crushed within a few years. Plant it in a hot, sunny spot with excellent drainage. You must physically guide its clockwise-twining shoots along your horizontal wires, and religiously execute the two-step pruning method (summer and winter) to convert its endless leafy vines into blooming spurs.
