  • Klimazone: 6b
  • Besondere Eigenschaften: Wisteria blossoms on short side branches of the main branches. Annual trimming is necessary to keep the plant into it’s form and to stimulate blossoming. Guiding against horizontal ropes gives a deceleration of the sap stream and stimulates flower bud formation. Seedlings start flowering very hard or not al all. That’s why grafted plants are offered
