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.

Wisteria   Marasaki Naga Fuji - Purple Rain Wisteria

This is a rarely  available Marasaki Naga Fuji, or Purple Rain Wisteria. A true miracle of nature, this Wisteria variety has the longest flower length of any Wisteria - in fact, it is in the Guinness book of records for having a flower raceme that was 1.8 METRES in length!!

Flowers are light violet with a purple stain, lightly scented, and open up progressively in a downward direction starting from the top of the long, clustered bunches until finally reaching the bottom, and can be anything from a minimum of half a metre to over one and a half metres in length.

5-10L pot, 6ft specimens £49.99 (A)


Wisteria Pink Ice

The pinkest of all wisterias is the  spectacular translucent PINK ICE, with large, long racemes of blousy pink. A vigourous climber and abundant flowering vine. We have some very large 7ft specimens in 10litre pots available with twisting trunks.

10L pot, 6.5ft specimens  


Wisteria prolific

Wisteria 'Prolific' is so named because of its huge number of flowers in Spring - beautiful hanging racemes of blue-violet up to 2-3ft long cover the plant from head to toe. Wisteria Prolific is known for its reliability of flowering at a young age, as well as its very fragrant flowers, and makes an ideal pot specimen or house climber.

10L pot, 5-6ft specimens £39.99 (A) 

35L pot, 5ft Wisteria standards with 18inch head £124.99 (B)  (click here for pictures)


Wisteria sinensis 'BLUE SAPPHIRE'  - Sky Blue Wisteria

This is a rare Blue Sapphire Chinese sinensis wisteria. A new introduction from New Zealand, it has fragrant, soft-violet flowers. Note that this is a true 'Blue Sapphire' Wisteria and not a 'Prolific' that is sometimes sold as Blue Sapphire. It is best grown as a climber, but can also be trained as a 'standard' or as a bonsai tree.

3L pot, 3-4ft specimens  

10L pot, 6ft specimens £49.99 (A) 


Wisteria venusta 'SHIRO KAPITAN'  - Silk Cloud Wisteria

This is a rarely available Silk Wisteria or Shiro Kapitan wisteria. These wisterias are much sought after because they are the only species to have beautiful downy foliage, which is soft and furry to touch. They have a stunning cream-white flower which can be up to 1ft or more in length. It is best grown as a climber, but can also be trained as a 'standard' or as a bonsai tree.

10L pot, 5-6ft specimens  £49.99 (A) 


Wisteria vilocea plena  - Black Dragon Wisteria

This is a rarely available Wisteria BLACK DRAGON or Kokuru wisteria. It has amazing 1-2ft cascading racememes of highly fragrant, spicely scented double dark purple flowers. Wisteria 'Black Dragon' is the darkest purple flowers of any Wisteria vine, and is my personal favourite Wisteria being strong growing, and very different from the common Wisteria sinensis.

3L pot, 3-4ft specimens  £24.99 (A)    

5L/10L pot, 6ft specimens  £49.99 (A)
