Japanese wisteria 'Geisha'

A large, long-lived climber so choosing the right site is important. Can be grown informally through a 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 cultivation for more advice

Prune twice a year for best results, see pruning wisteria for detailed advice

Propagate by basal softwood cuttings in early summer, by layering in autumn or by grafting in winter

May be susceptible to aphids and wisteria scale

May be susceptible to honey fungus and leaf spot
