CHINESE WISTERIA - Wisteria sinensis ‘Prolific’ often known as Chinese Wisteria is famous for its free-flowing habit. This vigorous deciduous climber, as its name suggests, can grow to heights of between 8 and 12 metres. This lovely Wisteria plant produces an abundance of very fragrant dense hanging racemes of blue-violet flowers from its twining anticlockwise stems during late Spring and early Summer and is ideal for growing in a variety of gardening settings. GROWING CONDITIONS - Wisteria is ideal for climbing up a sunny wall, pergola either from the ground or a container. It likes to grow in moist well draining soil, in a sunny or semi-shaded area that gives the plant shelter during the early Spring. Wisteria buds can suffer damage by hard Spring frost if planted in too open an area. ONGOING GARE - To promote good growth, in Autumn or Spring, apply a mulch of well rotted manure or compost to the base of the plant and prune in July and again in February. During the first two years, prune to create a framework of permanent stems, tying the selected lateral shoots to sturdy supports and cut back unwanted growth. Once the desired framework has been created, continue pruning twice a year to contain the plant's growth within its allotted space. POLLINATOR FRIENDLY - Wisteria sinensis ‘Prolific often flowers from a young age, and the flowers are visited by bees in bright or warm weather.
