Beautifully blooming climbing plant with pink flowers, gathered in long clusters (up to 60 cm). Wisteria grows slowly for 2-3 years after planting and requires particularly careful care and winter protection. After that, it grows vigorously, producing 1-3 meters of growth annually, reaching a height of 10 meters or more. Wisteria grows well in fertile, humus-rich, slightly permeable, and deep soil. It prefers a warm, sunny position, sheltered from strong and cold winds.
Beautiful flowering vine with pink flowers, gathered in long clusters (up to 60 cm). Wisteria grows slowly for 3-4 years after planting and requires particularly careful care and protection in winter. After that, it grows vigorously, producing 1-3 meters of growth per year, reaching a height of 10 meters or more. The shoots wrap around supports. The roots of old specimens can spread several meters in radius.
Flowering: It blooms in May. A vegetatively propagated seedling starts flowering in the 3rd or 4th year and blooms very profusely.
Care: It grows and blooms best in sheltered, warm, and sunny positions, with moderately fertile and moderately moist soil.
Pruning: Pruning wisteria will speed up its blooming and limit its growth. For the first 2-3 years after planting, allow the wisteria to grow freely to strengthen it. Then, it is pruned severely to encourage the formation of flower buds. Buds are formed in early autumn, so basic pruning is done in summer (late July) by cutting most of the new shoots above the 4th leaf, leaving only the shoots needed to direct the plant's growth. In early spring, pruning can be improved by cutting very thin shoots, leaving only 2-3 buds on side shoots. Pruning cuts should be covered with tree wound paste. Root pruning also accelerates blooming, and may trigger flowering the following year. Roots are pruned in spring (March) by driving a spade as deep as possible around the plant, at a distance of 1-2 meters from it.
