A beautiful flowering climber with pink flowers gathered in long clusters (up to 60 cm). Wisteria grows slowly for the first 3-4 years after planting and requires particularly careful care and winter protection. After that, it grows strongly, producing 1-3 meters of growth annually, reaching a height of 10 meters or more. The shoots wrap around supports. The roots of older 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 abundantly.

Care: It grows and blooms best in sheltered, warm, and sunny locations, in moderately fertile and medium-moist soil.

Pruning: Pruning wisteria will speed up flowering and limit its growth. For the first 2-3 years after planting, let the wisteria grow freely to strengthen. Then it should be heavily pruned to force flower bud formation. The buds are formed in early autumn, so the basic pruning is done in summer (end of July), cutting most of the new shoots above the 4th leaf, leaving only the shoots needed to direct the plant's growth. Early spring is a good time to improve pruning, cutting very thin shoots, and leaving only 2-3 buds on side shoots. The pruning sites should be coated with a sealing paste. Root pruning also accelerates flowering, which can lead to blooms the following year. Roots are pruned in spring (March) by driving a spade as deeply as possible around the plant, 1-2 meters away from it.
