Select a suitable spot for your wisteria umbrella. It should receive plenty of sunlight for optimal growth and bloom production. Prepare the Planter Pots When your juvenile wisteria has completely covered a wall or other garden structure, start the routine pruning to promote flowering.

Wisteria, stunning climbing plants that have hanging clusters of lilac-coloured flowers, are native to Japan and China. Although extremely attractive, these plants are also incredibly strong and can climb trees at lightning speed – potentially throttling the poor tree in the process. They really are not to be underestimated! That’s why, if you’re considering a wisteria for your garden, it’s best to think long-term and choose the right spot for your wisteria. You’ll also need to consider what the best growing support would be for it, and you’d be best off with a particularly robust structure – one that is capable of holding its own against this lilac force of nature! When the vine reaches the roof, tie it in place and direct its growth horizontally. It will be held in place as it ages by its own weight and the twining side branches. If you wish to continue lashing it down for more protection, make sure the ties aren’t girdling the branches once a year. How do you construct a trellis’ frame? But wisteria also thrives on gazebos. In the photo you can see a truly magnificent wisteria, covered in bees, that has entirely engulfed a solid wrought-iron gazebo. To take the weight of a wisteria in full bloom like this, it’s essential that the structure is securely cemented into the ground. At head height, the oldest, woody stems are encouraged to spread out horizontally by attaching them to the metal garden pavilion. When the wisteria is in bloom, the wrought-iron garden structure disappears completely beneath a spectacular sea of blue.For the tree or shrub that takes on the wisteria vine, this could be disastrous. As it wraps itself around every accessible branch and limb, this aggressive plant can swiftly choke mature trees, depriving them of light and nourishment.

Beautifully fragrant wisteria flowers offer a feast for the senses. A brown, bean-like pod remains on the plant during the winter after flowering. There are only blooms on fresh growth. Tip: Do not prune the roses in the first two years after planting them in the Giverny Umbrella support frame. After that, simply thin them out every spring. Try to ensure that as many of the older shoots as possible are used to form to crown, as it is on these that the young, shorter flowering shoots will grow.Water the wisteria regularly to keep the soil evenly moist. Apply fertilizer according to the manufacturer’s instructions to encourage robust growth and abundant flowering. Enjoy Your Wisteria Umbrella
