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.

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

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.

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.

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.

specimens £24.99 (A)
5L/10L pot, 6ft
specimens £49.99 (A)
