Wisteria sinensis 'Kofuji'

 "Mekura fuji' Dwarf

Chinese Wisteria

Zones 5-8

Full Sun



'Kofuji' is a small miniature wisteria that is perfect as a groundcover or used as a climbing vine in small fairy gardens. 'Kofuji' is especially slow growing and even has smaller leaves. In Japan, this miniature is known as 'Mekura fuji', which describes this small wisteria as non-blooming. I believe this to be true as I have never seen this miniature mutant bloom. This is a fun and unique plant to add to the garden.

A good and tough plant.

This is the only dwarf wisteria (so far).
Extremely small foliage presents a ‘ferny’ effect on this shrub sized plant. It will stay around 3 ft for many years.
It can get larger with time.
‘Mekura’ means blind in Japanese, and this wisteria was named because it had not apparently bloomed before. It was most often used as bonsai.
However, it can rarely bloom. On larger old plants, best situated in full sun, streamer growth (long vigorous shoots), can possibly bloom. It is a rare occurrence to bloom this plant. The flowers are a darker purple, very short raceme (cluster). Size of cluster and individual blossoms are small, and in scale with the overall dwarf habit of this cv.
I’ve seen the (possibly first blooming plant back in the 1980s), and a wisteria growing friend has had some bloom on her plant.
The RHS wisteria book lists the cv as ‘Hime’ (Princess) and shows a plant with some flowers.
Makes a great conversation piece, rare plant collectible, and just a nice thing to have!
It’s a tiny wisteria that everyone can fit into a garden of any size.
