Japanese wisteria

A large, long-lived climber so choosing the right site is important. Can be grown informally through large tree or more formally against a house wall or trained as a free-standing half standard in a container. Will grow in most soils that are moist but well-drained. See wisteria growing guide for more advice

Propagate by layering, softwood cuttings, hardwood cuttings or grafting

Can get scale insects

May be affected by a leaf spot and powdery mildews
