As the saying goes, "flowers don't bloom for a hundred days," but Wisteria is called "a hundred-day red." The Song Dynasty poet Yang Wanli praised it in a poem: "Who says that red flowers don't bloom for a hundred days, Wisteria blooms for half a year." As an ornamental plant, Wisteria generally blooms in the summer, with the flowering period from June to September. On a Wisteria tree, from the first flower to the last flower's decline, it often takes about a hundred days, hence the name "a hundred-day red." The long flowering period of Wisteria is due to its adaptability to various growing conditions, from south to north, at altitudes ranging from tens of meters to 2000 meters in many regions of the country, Wisteria flowers grow.

Although not competing for beauty, the colors of Wisteria flowers are brilliant and vibrant. Dr. Fang Wen, an ecologist with the Chongqing Forestry Bureau, introduced that Wisteria not only comes in purple but also in red, pink, and other colors. Its traditional varieties are divided into four categories: purple Wisteria, green Wisteria, silver Wisteria, and red Wisteria. Currently, there are three imported Wisteria varieties with red flowers in the country, namely 'Red Ball,' 'Red Flame,' and 'Red Leaf.'

It is said that the Wisteria tree, like the mimosa, has a strong "interactivity" with the viewer. If the Wisteria tree is gently shaken, the leaves and flowers will tremble as if they have been itched, as if they are shyly and gently dancing. Fang Wen explains that the wood of the Wisteria tree is relatively hard, top-heavy, and unbalanced, making it easy to respond to small vibrations.
