Makes you want to rush out and buy one, doesn't it? I was talking about it with one of the faculty who has been here a while and he said he felt like he'd been waiting 20 years to see a display like this from that vine. The fact is, while wisteria is glorious they take a while to really settle in and get blooming. The moral of this is, of course, to go plant a wisteria RIGHT NOW so you can get to the amazing display as soon as possible.

Beautiful picture and it's great that you're enjoying the lavender wisteria blooms!
By the way, wisteria is a very invasive vine in the southeast and established vines require pruning 4 times a year even as far as New York state. In Georgia wisteria ropes into a half-foot vine that can take down even tall natives like loblolly pines and water oaks.
While wisteria has a spicy, rich fragrance and beautiful blossoms, please remember that it can be very invasive and produce cable-thick roots 5 inches under the ground in certain climates. In Decatur GA, we tore up 12 yard-bags of wisteria vine when we move into our quarter acre lot and we still have wisteria coming up every year.
Too bad my HOA doesn't allow plants that are intertwined with the balcony railings. It would look awesome with wisteria! Great pics!
Sarah,
Good points -- here in Michigan wisteria is actually a fairly well-behaved vine, but you are right: In the South, I wouldn't recommend them.
It will not be false that the marketing is the backbone of the business. To increase the sales and to generate the maximum revenues you need the best advertisement for the product. So that people may be able to know about the product easily. webstagram
I'm in lower Michigan and I planted 2 japanese wisteria tiny starters 14 years ago and seemed to keep it trimmed and trained upright but now the bottoms have grown 25 feet away from plant and is even crawling around my cement driveway and into the street. It is in full bloom right now and beautiful but the amount of trimming I do each week is alot of work and effort. It will grow 2 feet a week in spring, summer and fall. I have to go out and pull it out of the pine trees and out of the soil but now it is getting impossible to control. Everyone that sees it wants a starter but I warn them about the amount of trimming and training to grow upright.
