Wisteria Longissima

Wisteria floribunda 'Longissima' is a spectacular Japanese Wisteria renowned for its breathtaking cascades of pale lavender to mauve flowers, which can reach an impressive 1 metre in length. Appearing in Spring, often before the foliage emerges, these beautifully fragrant blooms hang in elegant, trailing clusters, creating a truly magnificent display. As the flowers fade, delicate, fresh green foliage appears, providing lush Summer coverage before turning golden-yellow in Autumn.

Perfect for growing over pergolas, arches, verandahs and sturdy garden structures, Wisteria Longissima creates a stunning feature with its long, pendulous flowers and vigorous climbing habit. This hardy deciduous climber is ideal for adding height, shade and a romantic touch to the garden.

For best results, plant in a sunny position with well-drained soil, keeping the roots cool and moist while allowing the upper growth plenty of sunshine. Wisteria is a vigorous climber and requires strong support to accommodate its growth. Regular pruning is important to maintain its shape, control its size and encourage an abundance of flowers each year. Prune long, unwanted shoots during Winter and trim back new growth after flowering in Summer to promote flowering the following season.

With its extraordinary floral display, delightful fragrance and beautiful seasonal foliage, Wisteria Longissima is a timeless favourite that will transform any garden into a breathtaking Spring showcase.
