Latin Name: Wisteria sinensis
Species: Wisteria
Features: Fragrant
Flowering Time: May, June
Flower Colour: Violet Purple, Daisy White
Position: Full Sun to Partial Shade
Ideal Location: Arch, Pergola, Wall
Eventual Spread: 5m
Habit: Climbing
Hardiness: Fully Hardy
Pest & Disease: Good Resistance
Soil Type: Any fertile, well-drained soil
Pruning: Requires regular pruning

Planting Time: Can be planted year-round, from January to December.
Position: Wisteria is a very vigorous deciduous, woody climber which can be trained up an arch, wall or tree, or over a porch or pergola. Plant in full sun for the best flowering results.
Soil: Thrives in any fertile, well-drained soil. If your soil is particularly clay-heavy and gets waterlogged, make sure you mix in plenty of organic matter and perhaps even gravel or perlite to help improve drainage.
Hardiness: Fully hardy to the very worst of the British winters.
Pruning: Pruning is an important task that keeps the plant healthy and promotes flowering. In late summer (July/August), cut back the new whippy growth to five buds from the main woody stems. In late winter (January/February), find the same stems and cut them back further, leaving just 2-3 buds. This two-stage process encourages prolific blooms.
Pests & Diseases: Wisterias are generally not bothered by pests or disease. Aphids, Scale Insects, Powdery Mildews, and Honey Fungus can affect the plant but the problems are usually not serious.

Product Specifications

Supplied As: 9L Pots
