Wisteria are the jewels of the botanic world;
easy to look after, very long lived, vigorous, and simply magnificent when
in flower. The usual Wisteria you find on front walls of English cottages
is Wisteria sinensis, which must be 7-8yrs old before it will flower. Cultivars
(ie; grafted, different colour Wisteria) can flower in their first year,
but the older they are, the more likely they are to flower. Wisteria should
be pruned twice a year to encourage flowering; once lightly in September,
and again in February / early March just before flowering. We have limited
availability of most of the cultivars. All our
cultivars are grafted forms.

strong growing, and very different from the common Wisteria sinensis.
