Finally there is a blue rain (bot. Wisteria) in your garden and should now ensure a pleasant holiday feeling and Mediterranean flair on the terrace. Before that, however, your patience is required and good care including regular pruning.
Wisteria often blooms twice a year
The first flowers of the wisteria appear as early as April and delight the eye of the beholder. The lush colors with a seductive fragrance lasts until June. Depending on the climate and weather, the wisteria blooms a second time in late summer, albeit not as lavishly and magnificently as in spring.
Does Wisteria also come in other flower colors?
As the name suggests, the most common flower color is bright blue. But there are also other varieties that have violet, soft pink or even white flowers. However, they need a sunny location for lush flowering.
Can I support the flowering of my Wisteria?
An unpruned wisteria does not flower well, as it puts its energy into growth. That is why regular pruning is very important. It is best to cut the wisteria once in summer and once in winter. Also make sure that the plant is well supplied with water and nutrients before and during flowering.
The essentials in brief:
- blooms after a few years
- first flowering: April to June
- possibly second flowering: in late summer, less abundant
- blooms profusely in sun, sparsely in partial shade, little to no shade
tips
If you want your wisteria to bloom lushly, then you should definitely treat it to a sunny location.
