Climbers: Wisteria

 

Wisteria

Majestic flowering climbers, with fantastic pea-like, fragrant flowers, borne in usually pendent racemes in spring and summer, followed by bean-like green seed pods. Ideal to train against a wall, into a tree, or over an arch or pergola. The stems twine anti-clockwise around the support. Fully hardy. Buds can be damaged by late frosts. Grow in fertile, moist soil in full sun or partial shade.
