- Abundant purple flower clusters in late spring
- Long flowering period
- Ideal for covering a sunny wall or fence
Wisteria frutescens ‘Longwood Purple’ is the ideal wisteria for smaller gardens, covering a sunny wall or fence and producing masses of gorgeous unscented purple flower clusters in late spring. This American variety is less vigorous than the Chinese or Japanese wisterias and can be grown in a large container.
How you will receive your plants:
Selected by our team of experts and sent from our nursery, you will receive your plant in a pot, ready to plant out.
Can’t plant straight away?
Place the pot in a sheltered spot outdoors and water regularly to keep the soil moist.
Planting in the ground:
Dig a hole slightly wider than the rootball of the plant. Place the plant in the hole so that it sits at the same level in the ground as it did in the pot. When backfilling, mix in a soil improver such as well-rotted farmyard manure. Firm the soil around the plant and water well.
Planting in containers:
Choose a pot with good drainage holes. Place stones or crocks (bits of broken pottery) at the bottom of the pot to stop the drainage holes clogging up. Use a good quality compost. Feed and water container-grown plants regularly.
Aftercare:
Water regularly in the first year after planting and during dry periods. Feed in spring with a slow-release high potash feed such as rose fertiliser.
Prune in summer, cutting back the current year’s growth of long whippy shoots to five or six leaves from the main branches. Prune again in January or February, cutting these shoots back again to 2-3 buds from the main branches.
