If your garden is an outdoor room, wisteria provides the drapery and slipcover—to camouflage a view or provide living shade over porch and pergola.\r
\r
Something between a vine and a shrub, wisteria blooms vigorously in spring with showy, cascading flower clusters that provide quick-growing color.\r
\r
However, note that it can take a good six years for a newly established wisteria to start flowering—sometimes longer!\r
\r
The vine may grow 10 feet or more in one year! This gives the artful gardener a paintbrush with which to cover the landscape-canvas. Wisteria is also beautifully fragrant providing a feast for the senses.\r
\r
Note: Some types of wisteria are considered invasive pests; check with your local cooperative extension. All parts of this plant, especially the seeds, are poisonous.\r
\r
Planting\r
Grow in fertile, moist but well-drained soil. \r
Ensure placement has full Sun. Though wisteria will grow in partial shade, it probably wont flower. Sun is essential.\r
If your soil is in poor condition, add compost; otherwise, wisteria will grow in most soils.\r
Plant in the spring or fall.\r
Dig a hole as deep as the root ball and 2 to 3 times as wide. Space plants 10 to 15 feet apart.\r
Choose a site that will not overwhelm nearby plants as wisteria grows quickly and can overtake other plants.\r
Care\r
Each spring, apply a layer of compost under the plant and a 2-inch layer of mulch to retain moisture and control weeds.\r
Some gardeners swear by phosphorus to aid flowering. Scratch a couple of cups of bone meal into the soil in the spring and then add some rock phosphate in the Fall.\r
Water your plants if you receive less than one inch of rain each week. (To know how much rain you are getting, you can place an empty tuna can outside and measure the depth of water with a measuring stick.)\r
