The '''Kentucky Wisteria''' (''Wisteria macrostachya'') is a [[Woody plant|woody]] [[deciduous]] [[vine]] found in the southeastern [[United States]], including its namesake state of [[Kentucky]]. It is very similar to the [[American Wisteria]] (''[[Wisteria frutescens]]'').
Kentucky Wisteria bears unscented bluish-purple [[flowers]] in [[racemes]] 15-30 cm long, a generally average length for the ''[[Wisteria]]'' family. It produces these flowers after growing only two to three years, making it the quickest wisteria to bloom. Otherwise, its soil and light requirements, behavior, and characteristics are identical to the [[American Wisteria]].
