Default Yet more Wisteria

In http://www.ehow.co.uk/facts_7809091_time-plant-wisteria.html I read

"Warning

Do not grow wisteria near gutters, where the runners can climb them and
clog them. Do not plant Chinese wisteria or Japanese wisteria, as these
plants are invasive and can choke out the local plants. Instead, choose
wisterias that are native to the United States.
"

I think all the Wisteria I have seen online are Chinese/Japanese -
haven't noticed any US natives.

Presumably even though this is a '.co.uk' site it is relaying US-centric
advice?

I was looking for when to plant out Wisteria as I noted the supplier in
the previous thread only supplied plants for the first six months of the
year.

Cheers
