A beautifully flowering climbing plant with blue-violet 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 location, sheltered from strong and cold winds.

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. The vines wrap around supports. The roots of older plants can spread several meters in radius.
Blooming: It blooms in May. A vegetatively propagated plant starts flowering in the 2nd-7th year and flowers abundantly.
Care: It grows and blooms best in sheltered, warm, and sunny positions, in moderately fertile and moderately moist soil.
Pruning: Pruning wisteria will accelerate flowering and limit its growth. For the first 2-3 years after planting, allow the wisteria to grow freely to strengthen it. Then, prune it heavily to encourage the formation of flower buds. The buds are formed in early autumn, so the main pruning is done in summer (end of July) by cutting most of the new shoots above the 4th leaf, leaving only the shoots needed to direct the plant's growth. Early in spring, you can improve the pruning by removing very thin shoots, leaving only 2-3 buds on side shoots. The pruning sites should be covered with a paste to protect the cut trees. Root pruning also accelerates flowering, which may cause flowering the following year. The roots are pruned in spring (March) by inserting a spade as deeply as possible around the plant, 1-2 meters away from it.
