Double Purple Japanese Wisteria - Wisteria floribunda Violacea Plena

Wisteria floribunda 'Violacea Plena' is a highly decorative deciduous climber renowned for its double, violet-blue, sweetly scented flowers that appear in pendulous racemes up to 30 cm long. This Japanese Wisteria produces abundant blooms in spring, followed by lush green foliage that turns a brilliant golden-yellow in autumn. It’s ideal for growing on pergolas, arbours, or as a standard, providing seasonal shade and spectacular floral displays. With proper support, it can reach up to 8 m tall and wide, making it a statement feature for Melbourne gardens.

Key Features:

• Soil: Prefers fertile, well-drained loam or sandy soil; tolerates clay.
• Light: Full sun for best flowering; tolerates partial shade.
• Watering: Keep soil moist during establishment; drought tolerant once mature.
• Fertiliser: Apply slow-release fertiliser in spring to promote vigorous growth and blooms.
• Maintenance: Prune in winter to shape and in summer after flowering to control growth.
• Flowering: Double violet-blue racemes appear in spring; lightly fragrant.

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