Product Details
Our wisteria plants are twining woody vines that hang long, fragrant clusters of blue, violet or lavender flowers in spring. Trained up a post on a single trunk, one also makes a wisteria tree. Bare-root plants ship in 1-2, 2-3 and 3-4 foot sizes, in packs of 25, 50, 100 and 500.
Wisteria Size, Zones and Sun
A mature wisteria runs 10 to 25 feet or more, and its stems thicken into heavy woody trunks. It grows in zones 5 to 9. Full sun gives the best bloom, and part shade works. Moist, well-drained soil suits it, and once established it copes with wet or dry spells.
Wisteria Flowers and Bloom Time
Flowers open in spring in drooping clusters, most often blue-violet, with pink, lavender and white forms. Seed pods follow, and the seeds are poisonous if eaten. Wisteria can take a few years after planting to start blooming, so patience pays.
Growing a Wisteria Tree
Wisteria twines tightly and needs a strong support, such as a pergola, an arbor or a heavy post. For a tree form, tie one leader to a sturdy stake, remove side shoots and suckers as they appear, and prune long shoots in summer and again in winter. Our fast vines for privacy screens show other climbers that work on a fence line.
Good to Know About Wisteria
Keep wisteria off gutters, siding and nearby trees, because the stems tighten with age. Some states list Chinese and Japanese wisteria as invasive, so check your state list before ordering. If you want a native climber, our native vines for Tennessee privacy screens are worth a look.
