Keys to growing wisteria?

How long does Wisteria keep its purple flowers? How best to keep it manageable?
only for a month or so, if you want to control it and make a feature, grow it as a standard, these are fantastic, start when the bush is young, tie the branches together or if you can plait or twist them together around a stake. keep doing this till they are at a manageable height, i.e. your shoulders, then let them branch out and fall. trim them severly after flowering
Reply:Not nearly long enough! I love them. A few weeks, if I remember correctly. You need to prune them after blooming. Check the site below for gardening tips about them.
