Product Details

Product Details

The outstanding 'Lavender Falls' Wisteria floribunda variety has blue-violet, 9–20" cascading racemes that have the scent of grape jelly. The really exciting part is that they reappear several times during the summer. A staff favorite. 'Betty Tam' PP 19,655

Wisteria is a genus of deciduous vines whose lovely, fragrant flowers and almost overwhelming vigor make them useful in a wide variety of settings. Plants grow rapidly to 30′ and completely bury any structure they are allowed to annex. This rampant growth is easily controlled (and flowering is encouraged) by regular pruning. Plants thrive in full sun (or partial shade in the South) and average soil.

Shipping
Every state has agricultural regulations that restrict the shipment of certain plants. We're sorry, but we cannot ship this item to the following states: Wisconsin.

HOW PLANTS ARE SHIPPED

The size of the plants we ship has been selected to reduce the shock of transplanting. For some, this means a large, bareroot crown. Others cannot travel bareroot or transplant best if grown in containers. We ship these perennials and annuals in 1 pint pots, except as noted. We must point out that many perennials will not bloom the first year after planting, but will the following year, amply rewarding your patience. We ship bulbs as dormant, bare bulbs, sometimes with some wood shavings or moss. Shrubs, Roses, vines, and other woody plants may be shipped bareroot or in pots. The size of the pot is noted in the quick facts for each item.

WHEN WE SHIP

We ship our bulbs and plants at the right time for planting in your area, except as noted, with orders dispatched on a first-come, first-served basis by climate zone. We also ship a wide range of containers and planters, tools, supplies, fertilizers, garden wear, garden decor items, as well as indoor decorations like wreaths and dried bouquets when available. Estimated dates for shipping are indicated in the green Shipping Details box for each item. Please supply a street address for delivery. Kindly contact us with two weeks notice, if you'll be away at the expected time of delivery.

OUR GUARANTEE

The Battle of Patience

Always had a fascination with Wisteria. Order 3 from WWF around 5-6 years ago. Came semi-dormant and was well packaged. Planted the lot in the ground and all have grown aggressively (6ft now/staked to wood beams). Rapid growth but unfortunately at the expense of no bloom as of yet. They bask in the sun for around 5+ hours and go through routine pruning every season. Has become my garden nemesis due to the fact i cannot make these beauties bloom. Time will tell and maybe a hard trim will tell.

Waiting Patiently in Ohio

I ordered 2 of these Lavender Falls Wisterias to plant on opposite corners of my new pergola. Plants arrived promptly and I could tell care was taken to package them up. Plants looked very healthy. A week or two after planting and securing to pergola, they seemed to have settled into their new home. I can't wait til spring to see how they grow.

a blanket of lavender

My neighbor put up a chain link fence on the back of my property and I bought lavender falls to make it look prettier. The first year it bloomed but I did not prune it back because I wanted it to hide the fence. The second year, it had a few blooms but at the advise of a friend, I pruned it back this winter and now the whole fence is covered with lavender racemes. It is a spectacular sight. Hopefully , it will have sporadic blooms throughout the rest of this season.

Not Good for Northern Illinois

I put this in my garden about 5 years ago. It has full sun from morning till evening. It has bloomed ONCE. The year after it was planted. We had an exceptionally warm winter and very early and hot spring that year. It grows like crazy but does not bloom. I'm cutting it out this fall.

Latin Name Pronunciation: wis-teer'ee-uh     

Grow Wisteria in full sun (or partial shade in the South and West) and average garden soil. Fertilize only if your soil is exceptionally poor.

Wisterias are very vigorous; they require an especially strong support that can withstand the stranglehold of the woody stems. To control growth and to encourage flowering, prune frequently but lightly during summer; then cut each side shoot back to just 5–6 buds in late summer or early fall. Remove suckers (shoots arising from the base of the main stem) as soon as they appear.

Vines climb by means of twining stems (W. floribunda twines from right to left, W. sinensis from left to right).

Please note: Wisterias are generally slow to break dormancy after planting. Please be prepared to wait until early summer for your plant to leaf out. In subsequent years, it will leaf out at the normal time (midspring).
