One out of two has recovered, the other seems hesitant to make a new effort (maybe), but it must be said that Vendée suffers from dry summers and that my soil is of the pure clay genus. One out of two, that's already good...

Description
Wisteria Grande Diva® Maria is the most fragrant of this wonderful series of hybrid wisterias from W. brachybotrys (formerly W. venusta) named 'Diva'. This Maria selection is distinguished by a deliciously pastel, white and lavender flowering, which exhales a sweet, vanilla and sugary fragrance. Diva wisterias have a rapid flowering, which occurs from the first years of cultivation, they bloom abundantly, harmoniously and uniformly throughout their vegetation and do not damage their support. Much less vigorous than its Chinese and Japanese cousins, the 'Diva' wisteria can easily be maintained by pruning to a reduced size, which allows it to be adopted in a small garden, or even in a large pot on the terrace.
Wisteria Grande Diva® Maria is derived from, among others, a Japanese species of modest stature called the Silky or Graceful Wisteria. It is part of an exceptional new range created in the heart of Anjou in France by Formidable Plant Breeders. It is a small deciduous climber, whose foliage appears in spring and falls in autumn. As an adult, it will measure between 3 m and 10 m in height depending on how it is pruned and whether it is grown in the ground or in a container. Its voluble stems bear leaves divided into 12 ovate leaflets, measuring 4 to 7 cm long. Its stems twine from left to right (dextrorse) on solid supports. The abundant flowering takes place in May-June, at the same time as the young foliage unfolds, tinged with bronze. It takes the form of pendulous clusters, 15-20 cm long, very fragrant, composed of bicoloured papilionaceous flowers, very bright, composed of pale blue-purple petals and white petals. Hardy to at least -20°C, the Diva Maria wisteria is easy to grow in any loose and deep soil, moist to occasionally dry.
The 'Diva Maria' wisteria is perfect for dressing up a wall, railing, pergola, arbour, or porch in a romantic garden, including a small one. While wisteria branches are usually capable of twisting even the strongest grids, this variety is much more "respectful" of the supports that welcome it. Also, install it in a large container on the balcony or terrace. It will pair well with a Mayleen montana clematis, a Purpurea Plena Elegans clematis, perennial peas, etc.

Planting and care
The Wisteria Diva Maria should be planted in autumn (October) or spring (March) in fertile, deep and well-drained soil in a sunny or semi-shaded position. Add compost and water well after planting. In February, when the flower buds have formed, prune back (2 buds) the branches that are devoid of them, in order to aerate the plant. Do not keep more than 4 flower buds (rounded) on the same stem. To train a wisteria to climb a tree, no training pruning is required.

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.
