Product Information
Wisteria, better known as Wisteria, is an exuberantly flowering climbing plant that can be used on pergolas or against walls or fences. The plant is native to the United States, China and Japan. It is a fast-growing climbing plant with beautiful blue flowers that hang down. The long flower clusters are fragrant and can grow up to 25cm long. It is a beautiful climbing plant with twigs swinging all around. Especially in the beginning they need support because the branches do not have adhesive roots. A full-grown Wisteria can take quite a bit of weight, so make sure you have sturdy pergolas and fences. It is important to direct the twigs so that they cannot damage downspouts or gutters. This is because the wisteria is vigorous and can damage these.
Care
The Wisteria is not a difficult plant, but it does need some help to grow along a wall or against a pergola. The plant prefers a sunny position and moderate to moist soil. The plant is very hardy and should be pruned 1-2 times a year. In late summer, around July/August, the side branches of the Wisteria can become huge. The plant can grow up to ten feet tall! Prune the long side branches back to about 40-50cm, so it will survive the winter well. In early spring, around January/February, the side shoots of the Wisteria are best pruned back to about 10-15cm. Always prune the Wisteria in frost-free weather. After pruning, the plant will grow again quickly and produce its beautiful purple flowers.
Plant height
When delivered, the plants have a height of 25-40cm (measured incl. pot). The plants are delivered in pots with a diameter/diameter of 9cm.
