- Wisteria sinensis ‘Prolific’ often known as Chinese Wisteria is famous for its free-flowing habit. This vigorous deciduous climber, as its name suggests, can grow to heights of between 8 and 12 metres. This lovely Wisteria plant produces an abundance of very fragrant dense hanging racemes of blue-violet flowers from its twining anticlockwise stems during late Spring and early Summer and is ideal for growing in a variety of gardening settings.
- Wisteria is ideal for climbing up a sunny wall, pergola either from the ground or a container. It likes to grow in moist well draining soil, in a sunny or semi-shaded area that gives the plant shelter during the early Spring. Wisteria buds can suffer damage by hard Spring frost if planted in too open an area.

Watering Water thoroughly after planting and keep the soil evenly moist while the plant establishes. Once established, water during prolonged dry periods rather than little and often, allowing the soil to drain between waterings. Container-grown plants should be checked more frequently in warm or windy weather.
Best Growing Conditions Grow in sun or partial shade in fertile, well-drained loam. Choose a position with good airflow and enough space for the plant to reach its mature size. Mulch after planting and keep the root zone free from prolonged waterlogging, particularly through winter.
