Japanese Wisteria - Wisteria floribunda

Wisteria floribunda, commonly known as Japanese Wisteria, is a popular deciduous twining climber prized for its spectacular, pendulous racemes of purple, blue, or white flowers. These fragrant blooms appear in late spring and early summer, creating a stunning display on pergolas, trellises, and fences. Its vigorous growth and lush green foliage provide excellent summer shade, while autumn leaf colour adds a seasonal highlight. Perfectly suited to Melbourne’s cool temperate climate, this variety thrives in well-drained soil and full sun exposure.

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 to shape and encourage prolific flowering.
• Flowering: Large, fragrant clusters appear in late spring and early summer.

To maximise flowering, position in full sun and prune twice yearly after flowering and in winter.
