Usually the wisteria is planted because of its impressive blooms. If this does not happen, the concern is often great, but not always justified. As fast as it grows, Wisteria is not an early starter when it comes to flowering.
Young wisteria do not flower
When does a wisteria bloom for the first time?
It usually takes a few years before you can admire the first flowers of your wisteria. Count on about three to five years. In return, your wisteria will probably bloom every year until you retire.
An important factor in flowering is also the origin of your wisteria. If you bought it from a specialist retailer, then it should be grafted and bloom after a few years. However, if it was grown from seed itself, then a Wisteria takes much longer to flower for the first time. If you would like to grow a wisteria that is capable of flowering yourself, then propagation from cuttings is recommended.
Worth knowing about the flower of the wisteria:
- 1st flowering only at the age of 3 to 5 years
- Plants grown from seed flower less frequently and/or later
- regular pruning required
- Buds very sensitive to frost
Why isn't my Wisteria blooming even though it's old enough?
If your wisteria does not flower, although it is actually old enough, then you should look for the cause. Perhaps the location is too dark, then you should transplant your wisteria, because although it can exist in the shade, it will not bloom there. Too little water and/or fertilizer and incorrect pruning also make a wisteria lazy.
Reasons for no flowering:
- roots too dry
- too little fertilized
- too dark location
- wrong cut
- not circumcised at all
How can I support the flowering of Wisteria?
Regular pruning is essential for lush flowering, so you should prune your Wisteria at least once a year. Avoid both waterlogging and extreme dryness and fertilize your wisteria sufficiently in spring.
tips
In order for your wisteria to bloom lushly in the future, you should cut it back regularly and water and fertilize it sufficiently.
