About This Product

Wisteria, widely popular, is something between a shrub and a vine, blooming vigorously in spring with showy, cascading flower clusters that provide growing color. Wisteria provides the drapery, vining slipcover look to camouflage a view or provide shade over a porch or pergola. It can live a long, healthy life with no pruning at all (depending on the look you seek), happily twining, climbing, and sprawling over everything and anything in its path. A sturdy support is recommended. It is drought tolerant, and easy to grow by anyone, green thumb or not. Wisteria gives the artful gardener a paintbrush for which to cover the landscape canvas. It is vigorous and rewarding, growing up to 10 ft. or more annually.

Highlights

  • Sweet fragrance feast for the senses
  • Astonishing vigor producing hundreds of violet-blue blooms
  • Lasts and grows for ever
  • Plant 10 in. - 15 ft. apart, crown 1 ft. below soil level

    i bought two of these in the spring and planted them. it is mid July and the only growth or sign of life is at the very base of trunk where new shoots are growing. What do i do with the rest of the tree/stick that hasnt grown anything? Do i cut it down to the new shoots or let it alone? i live in Pa. i made sure it was completely covered during late frosts so it wouldnt die. im.....stumped.

    I would not do anything except feed it. Let it grow.

    Hello, The fact that you see growth means that they are love aswell. The root will first develop its root system, before showing much growth on top. Once roots have established you will be glad to see how fast this vine will grow.

      What is the growing habit of this wisteria? Does it have a trunk, or does it just throw out vines from the ground like American wisterias do? We don't want to make the same mistake we did when we planted Blue Moon.

        These plants shouldn't be ordered online. There isn't any way to propogate/replant and expect them to grow.

          It does have a trunk. Please see the attached photos of the recently planted Wisteria from Purple root stock.

                    Wisteria's twining fragrant vines of lavender, pink and white flowers add a graceful note to your landscape as they climb on walls, wires, trellises, pergolas, arbors and trees. Varieties that are hardy for U.S. Department of Agriculture zones 8 and 9 include Japanese wisteria (Wisteria floribunda), Kentucky wisteria (Wisteria macrostachya) and American wisteria (Wisteria frutescens). Given sufficient water and light exposure, wisteria will grow rapidly but can take up to six years to start flowering. Knowing when and what to feed your wisteria will keep it strong and healthy until the blooms burst open all at once to adorn your garden with its picturesque beauty. Nutrient Needs Potassium in the soil provides wisteria a measure of protection against diseases such as powdery mildew as well as encouraging flower bud formation. If a soil test reveals that your soil is low in potassium, adjust the levels upward by applying superphosphate, potassium sulphate or potassium bicarbonate. As a legume, wisteria is able to correct any nitrogen imbalance on its own. Therefore, feeding wisteria with high-nitrogen fertilizer can stimulate rapid, uncontrolled growth. So choose low-nitrogen nutrition for best results from your wisteria. Soil Preparation Soil preparation can ensure that your wisteria gets all the nutrients it needs to thrive. Layer compost around the base of the wisteria vines in the spring and 2 inches of mulch over that for moisture retention and weed control. Work phosphorous and bone meal into the soil to help the vines flower. Supplement in the fall with rock phosphate. Fertilizer Types The Royal Horticultural Society recommends feeding wisteria fish, blood and bone meal, following the instructions on the package as to application. Sulphate of potash, rose and flowering shrub fertilizer can also contribute to the healthy development of your wisteria vines. When to Feed Most soil amendments and fertilizer feeding should take place in the spring. When first planting wisteria, lightly fertilize about four to six weeks after planting in spring or summer. In following years, when the wisteria is well-established, fertilize in early spring and again in midsummer.

                      I just looked out the back door and there are blooms! They are not yet fully grown nor open but they are there and they are going to be beautiful. I am unsure why they took so long [third year including planting year] but they are there now. Thank you so much for a beautiful climbing tree/bush.

                        Wisteria shows leaves in about 8 weeks after planting. Blooming can take up to 3 years.

                            Customers say the wisteria plants often arrive in a dormant state, with many initially appearing as sticks or lacking visible growth. While some customers report successful growth after a period of care, others express disappointment with plants that did not show signs of life. Positive experiences highlight well-packaged deliveries and clear planting instructions, while common pain points include receiving dead or non-viable plants and uncertainty about growth timelines. Overall, customer satisfaction varies significantly based on individual plant performance.

                            Wisteria arrived quickly and well packaged, with plenty of soil on the roots, larger specimen than expected, one a bit bigger in diameter and taller than the other. I left plants soaking in a bucket for a day then planted as instructed. Within the week I could see buds tipping out with green and the next week there were small branches shooting out. It’s been about a month since planting and they’re thick with branches and leaves, ready for the trellis we haven’t built yet - may take over the woods before that happens. (Pictures show the wisteria - with red ribbon markers - among other undergrowth, so not particularly clear but the best I could do for a quick snap with a phone camera.) I definitely would order these again.

                            I purchased 5 of these and the order arrived sooner than expected. I was able to get them planted within a day or two of their arrival and at the time of my writing this all 5 have begun growing and are leafing out nicely. I believe it will be awhile before I see any flowers, but to this point I am very pleased. Respectfully, Mr. Black

                            Bought two stock roots. Obly one seems to be growing at all, and exceptionally fast as well. They both started with very little to no buds and now the one on the left has many while the one on the right has nothing.

                              The plants came nicely boxed. The roots well packaged in soil and wrapped in plastic. But they were dead! I planted them anyway….. and they remained dead. No resurrection for them. I returned them for a credit.

                                I planted them as soon as I got them. They had buds on them but they never came out. Looks like they were dead when I got them. I guess I will wait to see if the buds do anything.
