Common name:Cooke's Purple Chinese Wisteria
Botanical name:Wisteria sinensis 'Cooke's Purple'
While the sinensis is similar to the floribunda, it bears more rounded, full clusters of strongly fragrant flowers which open more or less, all at once. There are usually 13-15 leaflets per leaf, and they require full sun and average to little watering. 'Cooke's Special' has a brilliant blue flower.-Monterey Bay Nursery

Practice grass-cycling by leaving short grass clippings on lawns after mowing, so that nutrients and organic matter are returned to the soil.
Adjust sprinklers to avoid watering sidewalks and driveways.
