The wisteria is a type of flowering plant that is part of the pea family. It is a climbing vine that can grow quickly and is native to the eastern United States as well as countries such as China, Korea, and Japan. They climb by twisting their stems clockwise or counter-clockwise around any support they can cling onto. They have been known to climb as high as twenty meters off the ground and can spread out to a width of ten meters. If you have one of these plants too close to your home, they may indeed cause damage to the foundation of your house if you have a smaller house with a weak foundation, so be wary of letting any grow too close to your home. Newer homes with strong foundations are for the most part safe from damage from this fast-growing flowering vine.

It can grow in poor soil as well as fertile, moist, and well drained areas and is considered an invasive plant species in many places.
