Wisteria sinensis

Very popular, the <a href="https://en.promessedefleurs.eu/climbers/climbers-by-variety/wisterias.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wisteria</a> surprises us with its exuberance! It is a majestic plant, whose abundant flowering always creates a sumptuous display when it cascades over an <strong>arbour</strong> or <strong>pergola</strong>. It <strong>blooms in spring</strong>, starting from April or May, and sometimes offers <strong>a second flowering</strong> in summer. It is also appreciated for its <strong>finely cut compound foliage</strong>, light green in colour. It provides a <strong>lush vegetation</strong> that has the ability to enhance old stone houses and give them a lot of charm! <img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-10785" src="https://www.promessedefleurs.com/blogwp/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Glycine_maison.jpg" alt="Wisteria enhances any house" width="1172" height="690" /> Easy to cultivate, it enjoys <strong>well-drained and cool soils</strong> but is sensitive to calcareous grounds, which can lead to chlorosis. Plant it in <strong>full sun</strong>! It is hardy and relatively resistant to pests and diseases. Once established, it grows on its own but requires <strong>some pruning</strong> to control its growth and prevent it from turning the garden into a jungle! <strong>Very vigorous and powerful</strong>, it can twist the supports on which it grows. It can <strong>live for a long time</strong> and form a beautiful twisted trunk. It is one of those plants that assert themselves and become monumental over the years. Finally, as it occupies only a very small space on the ground, it is an <strong>ideal plant for the city</strong>. A single plant can create a stunning garland that will light up in spring and attract all eyes. In gardens, you will mainly find the <strong>Chinese Wisteria</strong> <em>(Wisteria sinensis)</em> and the <strong>Japanese Wisteria</strong> <em>(Wisteria floribunda)</em>. However, there are many varieties, some of which have double flowers! They can be associated with other climbing plants but are very beautiful as a standalone specimen. It is even possible to highlight them by training them as a tree. They multiply very easily by layering.
