Welcome to Wisteria Corner
Can anything be more beautiful than wisteria on a
weathered fence?
How would you describe the color, blue? lavender? purple?
In full bloom or with the buds yet unopened,
wisteria is just as ethereal and wistful as it's name.
It grows so rapidly in the early Florida springtime that one can almost "see" it grow.
I have measured tendrils growing at a rate of over 5 inches a day!
Wisteria is named after Caspar Wistar, (1761-1881).
There are many varieties of wisteria, all of which are
characterized by twining stems and showy clusters of
bluish, white, purplish or pink flowers.
It is a member of the Pea family.
Wisteria will grow almost anywhere.
In North Florida, the blooms are usually bluish, tinged with lavender.
Perhaps, this is a result of the acidic soil in this part of the state.
Wisteria prefers the following conditions...
- Temperate climate
- At least 4 hours of bright sunlight daily
- Well-drained soil
- Support and plenty of room to grow.
