Growing Tips
To get the best from your wisteria, follow these planting and care tips:
Planting Location:
Wisteria sinensis ‘Prolific’ thrives in full sun, which encourages abundant flowering. Choose a sunny spot where the vine can spread and grow freely. It also prefers a sheltered location to protect it from harsh winds.Soil:
Plant in moist, well-drained, fertile soil. Wisteria will grow best in slightly acidic to neutral soil. Ensure the soil is not waterlogged, as wisteria does not tolerate soggy conditions.Pruning:
This wisteria falls under Pruning Group 3, which requires annual pruning to maintain its shape and encourage strong flowering. Prune back the long growths from the previous year in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Regular pruning helps to control its size and ensures a better flowering display.Support:
Provide a strong support structure, such as a trellis, fence, or archway, for the vine to climb. Wisteria can become quite heavy, so ensure the structure can support its vigorous growth.
