| Wisteria (Standard) Chinese Wisteria from Van Meuwen |
Van Meuwen has the following helpful hints for growing wisteria:
- Their wisteria has been trained as a standard so that it can be enjoyed in a small garden or pot.
- Wisteria is harmful if eaten.
- Grow wisteria plants in a sunny or semi shaded site in any moist, well drained soil.
- Wisteria buds can be damaged by hard spring frosts so choose a sheltered position.
- When growing wisteria in large containers, soil based compost should be used such as John Innes No. 3.
- Provide the twining stems with an appropriate framework to support growth.
