A gorgeous wisteria vine is in full bloom in our parking lot, of all places.
The view grabs my attention every time I pass by. I can't decide what is more striking: the picturesque plant or its contrast with asphalt and heavy metal.
An oldie but goodie, don't overlook wisteria for your garden. Some varieties are incredibly drought tolerant, and the bees love it like none other.
Here is more information about wisteria on the new Sunset Plant Finder.
And here are links to more of Sunset's recommendations for unthirsty flowers.
