This is a rare form of Japanese wisteria that produces pendulous clusters up to 45cm (18in) long, of pale rose-pink flowers in June. It is less vigorous than many other varieties, so it's ideal for training against a sunny wall. To enhance flowering, provide ample space for the roots to spread and carefully prune the twining stems twice a year.

All the Wisterias we sell are grafted, so will start to flower at a younger age than those grown from cuttings.
Garden care: In the first growing season tie in lateral shoots and cut back sub-lateral shoots to two or three buds. During the first winter cut back laterals by one third and sub-laterals by two or three buds.
