Wisteria sinensis Prolific

Wisteria sinensis ‘Prolific’ is a vigorous, deciduous twining climber prized for its cascading racemes of lilac-blue, scented flowers in late spring, typically in May and June. Grow in fertile, moist but well-drained soil in full sun or light shade on a wall, pergola or sturdy arch. This climber requires a suitable support to establish and grow. In time it can reach around 812m in height with an approximate spread of 48m across a suitable support, making a superb feature that provides lush green foliage through the growing season and dramatic floral displays when established.

This climbing plant has been trained onto a supporting frame to create a neat, well-shaped specimen that is ready for planting. As it grows, new shoots can be guided and secured to continue developing its natural shape.

To help give a clear sense of scale, the stone wall shown in our photos measures approximately 265cm in height. We also use familiar garden tools as visual references: a digging fork (110cm tall) and a hand fork (30cm tall). These are included purely as size guides to help you better judge proportions when viewing the images.
