- Soil: fertile, moist, well-drained soil
- Rate of growth: fast-growing

From early summer, fragrant lilac-blue flowers open gradually from the base of the pendulous racemes that form on this vigorous, deciduous climber.
All the Wisterias we sell are grafted, so will start to flower at a younger age than those grown from cuttings. - Garden care: After planting prune back the leading shoot to 90cm (36in) above the ground. 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.
