{"title":"Wisteria","description":"\u003cp\u003eWisteria is the great spring climber: hanging chains of fragrant flowers in lilac, purple or white, followed by soft green foliage that shades a pergola through summer. It is long lived and vigorous, so it needs a strong support and a regular prune. Choose by species, because the Chinese, Japanese, American and silky forms differ in vigour, flower length and how well they suit a smaller space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to choose a wisteria\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"\/products\/chinese-wisteria-wisteria-sinensis\"\u003eChinese Wisteria\u003c\/a\u003e is the most vigorous and the first to flower, with shorter clusters that open all at once.

It also grows in warm temperate and subtropical gardens, though flowering can be lighter. It needs full sun and a very sturdy structure: an established Chinese or Japanese wisteria is heavy and will pull down a flimsy trellis. Keep it away from gutters, roof tiles and house timber.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWisteria is one of many \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/climbers\"\u003eclimbers\u003c\/a\u003e for walls and arbours; for a cool, seasonal garden see also our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/deciduous-shrubs\"\u003edeciduous shrubs\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWisteria can also be trained as a free standing standard on a stout stake, which suits a small garden or a formal entry. Whichever way you grow it, decide the support first, because wisteria twines and will strangle a thin post or a light timber lattice over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePlanting and spacing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePlant in autumn or spring in well drained soil with plenty of sun. Set the plant against a pergola post, wall or wire framework, and tie the main stems on as they grow. Allow at least three metres between plants for the larger species, and more for a Japanese wisteria on a long pergola.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCare basics\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWisteria needs two prunes a year. In late summer cut the long whippy shoots back to about five leaves. In winter cut those same shoots back again to two or three buds, which keeps the plant compact and encourages flowers. Go easy on nitrogen fertiliser, which grows leaf at the cost of blooms. Water well while the plant is young; established plants are quite tolerant of dry spells.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAll parts of wisteria, especially the seeds and pods, are poisonous if eaten, so keep it in mind around children and pets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNewly planted wisteria can sit for a season or two before it puts on real growth, so be patient. Once settled it can live for decades and is one of the longest lived garden climbers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCommon questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy is my wisteria not flowering?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCommon causes are youth, too much nitrogen, too little sun or missing the summer and winter prunes. Some plants take several years to flower.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow fast does wisteria grow?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQuickly once established, with stems that can add several metres in a season. Regular pruning keeps it in bounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs wisteria poisonous?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The seeds and pods are poisonous if eaten, and the rest of the plant can cause illness too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan wisteria grow in a pot?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor some years, particularly the American forms, if the pot is large and the plant is pruned hard.
