Check out www.burncoose.co.uk - they stock 24 wisterias (plus loads of other goodies). I have used their mail order for several years now and can recommend them

What lovely Wisteria. I just planted one in the garden that I started in a container. So far so good. I understand they take a year or two to bloom. If mine are nearly as pretty it will be worth the wait.

There are two things that will kill your wisteria very quickly:
1. The wrong soil.
2. Transplant shock.
Through trial, error and alot of research (not too mention a few wisteria plants!), I have found this to be true...
This plant HATES HATES HATES HATES any kind of CLAY SOIL or soil that has ANY soot in it.
Also you want to put your plant in a good size pot, or keep it in the one you bought it in, and gradually take it outside to plant.
Just think of it as a newborn just getting use to the outside.
Yep-lots of patience and this plant will give you alot of beauty!

Don't give up hope Lilyb. If your wisteria is alive they are very good at producing masses of growth so it should produce more. I must say that nothing attacks ours except us with secateurs because we are always fighting to keep it under control.

I am a little upset about my wisteria, 4 weeks I have been caring for it and then I noticed new growth and I was extremely happy and then today I checked it and a slug or something had eaten the new growth :(
I am now thinking of buying a new one.

Ours grows on a North east facing wall so doesn't get that much sun. We have cold winters too but not as long as yours. If they are sold locally then you could give it a shot.

I've seen pictures of wisteria blooming in Ottawa..which is north of where I am... would have to have just the right spot for it...like a sunny south facing brick wall! lol.

Ours was like that Blodyn for years , in the end we hacked each stem so short to the main stem , it must have given it a shock because the next year it was loaded with lovely flowers

Sorry your was not a flowerer Blodyn. I've read that sometimes they can be like that. This one is a very old vine, here when we moved. It's very big and flowers ferociously. If you saw my photos in early May I took quite a few of it then. The perfume is amazing too.

I love wisteria but when I had one it never flowered eventhough I had it for many years - not even one small flower ever. In the end I got fed up and chopped it down.

I've just discovered this beautiful plant and I purchased one on the internet, but when I recieved it, it looked ill and has lost some leaves and the only leaves I can say are ok are right at the bottom of the plant.
I have planted it too so it's too late to send back but I will be keeping an eye on it.
I just wish that I had discovered it years ago.
I love them and hopefully mine will get to look like the one in this picture.

I love Wisteria, but the house is covered with Clematis montana and roses, so there is no room for one. Maybe it's for the best - I can't climb ladders!

HI Matt welcome to goy .Typically Wisteria pruned twice a year summer pruning after flowering finished(if lucky enough to have some) and winter prune.
In summer cut back those long whispy tendrils to about a finger length from main stem.In winter they can be given a hard prune if required.branches that have grown to desired length can be stopped by pruning ends Ideally Wisteria should have one main trunk with branches faning off this.If plant neglected or badly pruned now (winter) is time to remove excess basal growth.Wisteria should flower before leaves appear if flowers and leaves appear together sign of missed or incorrect pruning.

This colour combination is definately my favourite. I'm a fan of the cool colours of the spectrum.

You growing the American blue variety Mike? Not sure if yours the same but possible here to buy duds that will never flower.Not a fan of buying plants in flower as shouldnt be trying to root as flowering but feel wisteria the exception.Buying one with evidence of flower buds is best way to ensure success in following seasons.There were plants 4times the size and price with a mass of leaf but no buds so glad I chose this litte one .20 plus flower racemes and only 3 feet tall.

I planted a wisteria last year, I suppose yours took a few years to get that big, it's marvellous, how old is it?
I'm not sure if mine will even survive because so I'm told, it doesn't do well in N.Ireland, but thought I would risk it with TLC :)

Hi Julezo bit late answering but Andrea right sure they are flower buds.Bought one last year only a foot tall and coverered in buds flowered well despite size.You may have seen pictures of old cottages dripping with long flowers -racemes -? not a leaf in sight.This due to correct pruning to stop excessive leaf growth and promote flowering.
