Cultural Notes |
Most soil types are suitable; an application of a complete fertiliser to the garden bed in spring after the main pruning promotes vigorous growth. In winter temperatures to 5°C are tolerated but heavy frosts will cut them back. During the year trim back the older growth when flowers are showing signs of slowing off and getting smaller. The use of a slow release fertiliser is recommended for pot grown specimens. |
Landscape Ideas |
Wisteria Lane is ideal planting for background effect in garden beds of mixed shrubs or planted as hedges. Planted on sloping hillsides in garden beds the effect can be stunning. |
