Wisteria Care
Plant your Wisteria Tree in full sun for the most blooms and the best growth! Wisteria can grow in partial shade in the south but needs full sun in the north. Any well-drained soil with moderate to low fertility is best. Wisteria appreciates regular moisture and mulched beds to grow best and actually do best with less fertilizer - especially high-nitrogen lawn fertilizers that can actually stop them from blooming and only produce copious amounts of green growth.
Wisteria Trees are very forgiving plants and grow in a wide range of soils. It even likes sand and Clay, and tolerates drought and Salt!
Having your pruners handy will keep Wisteria Trees manageable. Many plant species need to be trained by pruning, but most of these species are not nearly as hardy or fast-growing as the Wisteria!
Pruning is the secret to good flowering, and it is best to prune Wisteria in late winter or very early spring. Remove at least half of the prior year's growth, and keep a few buds per stem. If you wish for a more formal appearance, you can prune again during summer after its flowering is completed.
