Plant Highlights: Mixed selection of spectacular flowering climbers • Cascading fragrant flower clusters • Ideal for pergolas, walls and arches • Long-lived and highly ornamental • Excellent for pollinating insects

Overview

This mixed selection of Wisteria offers some of the most spectacular flowering climbers for the garden. As this is a mixed assortment, the exact variety supplied will vary, with differences in flower colour, raceme length and flowering time. Every plant shares the classic beauty of cascading, fragrant flower clusters and vigorous climbing growth.

Wisterias are long-lived climbers that become increasingly impressive with age. They are ideal for covering sturdy pergolas, arches, walls and other substantial supports, where their dramatic spring display can be fully appreciated. Once established and correctly trained, they provide decades of seasonal interest and create a striking architectural feature in the garden.

Plant Details

Growing Guide

Plant in a sunny, sheltered position with fertile, well-drained soil. Wisteria flowers most freely in full sun and should be given a strong, permanent support from planting, as mature plants become heavy over time. Water regularly while establishing and during prolonged dry spells, particularly in the first few growing seasons. Avoid high-nitrogen fertilisers, which encourage leafy growth at the expense of flowers.

Pruning

Regular pruning encourages abundant flowering and keeps plants manageable. Shorten long, whippy shoots in mid to late summer to develop flowering spurs, then prune these shoots again in late winter to maintain a tidy framework and promote the best floral display.

Wildlife

The fragrant flowers provide an excellent source of nectar for bees and other pollinating insects during the flowering season.

Good to Know
