A beautifully flowering 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 m of growth annually, reaching a height of 10 m 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.
A beautiful flowering climbing plant 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 winter protection. After that, it grows strongly, producing 1-3 m of growth annually, reaching a height of 10 m or more. The shoots wrap around supports. The roots of old specimens can spread up to several meters in radius.
Blooming: Blooms in May. A vegetatively propagated seedling starts flowering in the 3rd-4th year and flowers abundantly.
Care: It grows and blooms best in sheltered, warm, and sunny locations, in moderately fertile and medium-moist soil.
Pruning: Pruning wisteria will accelerate flowering and limit its growth. For the first 2-3 years after planting, allow wisteria to grow freely to strengthen. Then, prune it strongly to force flower bud formation. Buds are formed in early autumn, so the main pruning is done in summer (late July) by cutting most new shoots above the 4th leaf, leaving only those shoots that are needed to guide the plant's growth. Early spring pruning can be done to remove very thin shoots, leaving only 2-3 buds on the side shoots. Cut areas should be covered with paste to protect cut trees. Root pruning also speeds up flowering, which may trigger flowering the following year. Roots should be pruned in spring (March) by digging deeply around the plant at a distance of 1-2 meters from it.
