Description
Wisteria floribunda 'Alba' is a climbing plant of impressive vigour. This hardy Japanese wisteria is appreciated for its generous flowering in white and fragrant clusters.
Wisteria floribunda 'Alba' is a deciduous climber. It bears medium green leaves with 12 ovate leaflets, 4 to 8cm (2 to 3in) long. The stems twine from left to right (dextrorse stems) on solid supports. In May, it bears pendulous clusters of flowers, measuring 30 to 50cm (20in) long. They are white papilionaceous flowers. The fruits, in the shape of velvety beans, measure from 10 to 15cm (4 to 6in) long.
It is one of the hardiest wisterias. It can withstand temperatures down to -20°C (-4°F). It prefers non-calcareous, deep, fertile, and well-drained soils. It appreciates sunny or partially shaded positions that are warm and sheltered from strong winds. The soil should be enriched with organic matter every year. Prune in February, when the flower buds are formed. It takes a long time for the plant to establish.
With its 10m (33ft) height, Wisteria floribunda 'Alba' is perfect for dressing walls, railings, pergolas, arbours, and porches for a romantic garden. In summer, its dense foliage will protect your south-facing patio. Take care, as wisteria branches can twist even the strongest supports.
Be aware that all parts of wisteria are toxic if ingested!

Planting and care
Wisteria floribunda 'Alba' should be planted in autumn in fertile, deep, and well-drained soil in a sunny or semi-shaded location. Add compost. Water well after planting.
General pruning: in February, when the flower buds have formed, prune the branches without buds short (2 eyes) to aerate the plant. Do not keep more than 4 rounded flower buds on the same stem. Pruning for training a wisteria to climb a tree does not require any shaping.
Pruning for training against a wall: after planting, prune the main shoot to 75 to 90cm (30 to 35in) from the ground. In the first year, tie the lateral shoots to the support and prune the others to 2 eyes. In the first winter, prune the lateral shoots by 1/3 of their length, prune the others to 2 eyes, and trim the main shoot to 75 to 90cm (30 to 35in) above the main lateral shoot. Repeat in the following years until fully trained on the support. Once established, in late summer, prune all shoots to 15cm (6in) inside the edge of the support, leaving 4 to 6 leaves on each shoot. In mid-winter, reduce these shoots by 8 to 10cm (3 to 4in), leaving only 2 eyes.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
