Description How to Grow More Info Delivery

Wisteria ‘Geisha’ is a gorgeous Japanese Wisteria which in late spring and early summer produces long racemes of bi-coloured white and lavender-violet, pea-like flowers which are softly scented. Height: 8m (26 feet). Spread: 4m (13 feet).

A specimen of Wisteria floribunda in full flower is always a stunning sight. These easy to grow climbers are perfect for clambering over a pergola or up a wall in a sunny position with well-drained soil. In May and June they bear pendulous clusters of flowers reaching up to 46cm (18”) in length. The flowers appear in succession at the same time as the leaves emerge, which start off bronze in spring and age to green. Additional autumn interest is provided when the leaves turn butter yellow.

Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.

Grow wisteria plants in a sunny or semi shaded site in any moist, well drained soil. Wisteria flower buds can be damaged by hard spring frosts so choose a sheltered position. Prior to planting add plenty of well rotted manure or garden compost to the soil. Provide the twining stems with an appropriate and sturdy support, such as strong trellis or wires attached to walls and pergolas.

Feed and water regularly until fully established. In autumn or spring, apply a mulch of well rotted manure or compost to the base of the plant. Prune wisteria in July and again in February. During the first two years, prune wisteria to create a framework of permanent stems. Tie in selected lateral shoots to sturdy supports and cut back unwanted growth. Once the desired framework has been created, continue pruning wisteria twice a year to contain the plants growth within its allotted space.
