Title: Wisteria
Post by: susan1 on June 15, 2013, 16:38:24
My wisteria was looking really good this year but due to to wind and rain it has fallen off the wall and is now in the green bin : hopefully it will grow back next year

Commiserations on it falling down, as to growing back.they are tough as old boots even if their delicate flowers suggest otherwise. When we started ours it had a year in the ground before our alsation of the time 'ragged it' to a stump about a foot high..I thought it a gonner and dragged it out with its rootball, threw it in a corner and forgot about it. The following year it sprouted again and I was forced to find it its present position on the side of the house, the stump produced 5 new shoots and it now covers the walll entirely (8yrs on), apart from a bag of muck in its planting hole 3ftx1ft it has never been fed any type of fertiliser, it produces more and more blooms every year too...and the scent , well it is to my nose and mind sublime!
