Its breakthrough: it's self-fertile, so a single plant fruits heavily (older bittersweets need separate male and female vines). Importantly, this is the native species, not the invasive Oriental bittersweet. Whether you're covering a sturdy fence in Edina, decorating a native planting in Maple Grove, or feeding birds in Woodbury — Autumn Revolution brings fall color to zone 4b–5a (and colder) yards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAutumn Revolution Bittersweet Plant Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"mce-item-table\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAttribute\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScientific Name\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eCelastrus scandens\u003c\/em\u003e 'Autumn Revolution'\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Type\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDeciduous woody climbing vine (native)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMature Length\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15–25 feet on a strong support; vigorous\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSun\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFull sun to part shade; heaviest berry set in full sun\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWater\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLow to moderate once established; very adaptable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA Zones\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3–8 (Twin Cities is zone 4b–5a)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSoil\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVery adaptable — tolerates poor, dry soils; needs decent drainage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePollination\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSelf-fertile — one plant fruits (a rarity for bittersweet)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBerries\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLarge orange capsules splitting to reveal red seeds; fall into winter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNative Status\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNorth American native — not the invasive Oriental bittersweet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinter Hardiness\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReliable to zone 3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAutumn Revolution Bittersweet Uses in Minnesota Landscapes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFall berries for décor\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCut the berry-laden stems for wreaths and arrangements — the orange-red capsules are an autumn classic from a Plymouth garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCovering sturdy structures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts vigor suits a heavy fence, arbor, or trellis in Eden Prairie.

A selection of our native Kentucky wisteria, it's hardy to roughly -40°F and blooms reliably with fragrant, foot-long lavender-blue racemes — then reblooms two or three more times through summer. It's far better behaved than the aggressive Asian wisterias, but still a strong vine that needs a sturdy structure. Whether you're draping an arbor in Edina, framing a pergola in Maple Grove, or adding romance to a Woodbury garden — Blue Moon brings true wisteria to zone 4b–5a (and colder) yards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBlue Moon Wisteria Plant Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"mce-item-table\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAttribute\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScientific Name\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eWisteria macrostachya\u003c\/em\u003e 'Blue Moon'\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Type\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDeciduous woody climbing vine (native Kentucky wisteria)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMature Length\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15–25 feet on a strong support; vigorous\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSun\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFull sun (6+ hours) for the most blooms; tolerates part shade with fewer flowers\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWater\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModerate — consistent moisture in well-draining soil\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA Zones\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3–9 (Twin Cities is zone 4b–5a); hardy to about -40°F\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSoil\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRich, well-draining; amend Minnesota clay-loam with compost.
