White Japanese Wisteria - Wisteria floribunda Alba

Wisteria floribunda 'Alba', also known as White Japanese Wisteria, is a popular deciduous climber loved for its long racemes of pure white, highly fragrant flowers. The elegant blooms appear in spring and early summer, hanging gracefully in pendulous clusters up to 60 cm long. Its lush green foliage provides summer shade, while autumn leaves turn golden before falling, revealing attractive twisting stems. This hardy variety performs exceptionally well in Melbourne’s cool to temperate climate and is ideal for formal or cottage style gardens.

Key Features:

• Soil: Prefers fertile, well drained soil; tolerates clay or loam.
• Light: Full sun to semi shade; blooms best with strong sunlight.
• Watering: Moderate watering; keep moist during dry or hot weather.
• Fertiliser: Feed annually in spring with slow release fertiliser.
• Maintenance: Prune in winter and after flowering to control size and encourage bloom.
• Flowering: Large, fragrant clusters appear in late spring and early summer.

For the most abundant blooms, plant in full sun and prune twice yearly. Once after flowering and again in winter.
