Which ever Wisteria you buy make sure its a grafted one, I have had mine now for 13 years not a flower in sight neither are some other goyer had flowers.

I did not realize it had to be grafted to flower.
Thanks for that.

Your welcome it needs pruning too twice a year in order for it to flower so I have been informed by professional gardeners on this site.

Not to sure what grafted means but i will ask the nursery, i'm fairly new so hopefully will become a quick learner.

My friend has a beautifull Blue Wistera growing arround all his garden with flowers to die for, i've been told to help myself to as many new cuttings as i can carry, but guess these are not grafted ?

Thanks Sixpence

Grafted is where one plant is put onto another plant so there should be a graft down on the main stem somewhere which is what you look for

Wisteria grown from seedlings can take 20 years or more to flower, so the ones that are a scion from a mature plant grafted on a seedling rootstock are preferred, since they usually bloom much faster--around 3-5 years from the graft. I have neverseen a dark purple Wisteria. Usually the closest is a medium deep lavender.

I was not aware it could take 3-5 years to flower.

I'm still going to buy one and see how it goes.

Sorry Tugbrethil i did mean deep lavender.

Watch this space in 5 years time ha ha

Thank you both

I ve been advised to buy while in flower then you know it does flower good luck with you purchase
