Wisterias are hardy fast growing climbers
Chris & Marie love climbing Wisterias! Chris’ all time favorite is Wisteria floribunda carnea.
At Chris & Maries old family home in Mount Dandenong they grew a beautiful collection of Wisterias over a large wooden pergola. Chris loves Wisteria floribunda carnea best of all as he said that it is has twice as many flowers compared with other varieties, the racemes are smaller but there’s heaps more of them! It has soft pink fragrant flowers that emerge before its leaves and the flowers last a week longer than the other varieties, they flower for around 4 weeks! Chris said that when the leaves emerge they are beautiful pink colour which changes to lime green. Wisteria floribunda carnea is the most vigorous and hardy of all the wisterias.

Wisterias look great planted over archways and pergolas

Wisterias are hardy fast growing climbers that have long been sought after for their magnificent drooping sprays of perfumed flowers. They are deciduous and frost hardy with twisted woody stems. Most varieties flower in early Spring which is

followed by soft light green foliage throughout Spring and Summer, bean like seed pods are produced after flowering. Wisterias require good strong support, they may take a few years to establish, once established they are a vigorous climber. If required, prune after flowering to shape your Wisterias. Wisterias look great planted over archways and pergolas and can be grown as standards. They love full sun positions in well drained soils, water and fertilise well when they are flowering and also in the warmer months. We recommend Fertilising every three months with Devotion™ Time Release Fertiliser.
