Wisteria floribunda 'Rosea'

Japanese wisteria

• Position: full sun or light, dappled shade
• Soil: fertile, moist, well-drained soil
• Rate of growth: fast-growing
• Flowering period: June
• Flower colour: pale rose-pink
• Other features: light grey-green leaflets, turning yellow in autumn; velvety, green seed-pods in hot summers; all parts of the plant are harmful if ingested
• Hardiness: fully hardy
  
  This is a rare form of Japanese wisteria that produces pendulous clusters up to 45cm (18in) long, of pale rose-pink flowers in June. It is less vigorous than many other varieties, so it's ideal for training against a sunny wall. To enhance flowering, provide ample space for the roots to spread and carefully prune the twining stems twice a year.
  
  All the Wisterias we sell are grafted, so will start to flower at a younger age than those grown from cuttings.
  
  
• Garden care: In the first growing season tie in lateral shoots and cut back sub-lateral shoots to two or three buds. During the first winter cut back laterals by one third and sub-laterals by two or three buds.
  
  
  • Eventual Height: 9m
  • Eventual Spread: 5m
