Lovely purpose ofwisteria . — Part of what makes Chanticleer continuously inspiring are the ingenius ways they utilize plants in designs . From container display with combinations or organization you ’d never consider to creating plantings that some might never have imagined would be possible . When most of us think of wisteria , we intend of the fascinating aspect of the purple flowers climbing up a wall or trailing down from large arbors . or else of an adornment to a gentleman - made construction , this wisteria looks to be entrust to it ’s more natural form .

Non - stop surprise at Chanticleer . — Another case in item : These eye - grab variegated fox keister agave ( Agaveattenuata‘Ray of Light ’ , zone 9 - 12 ) are even more centre - get raise out of a wall !
