Hi
I want to but a wisteria for the front of the house, there are so many different varieties, which is the best?
Which variety of wisteria is best?
I wish questioners would tell us what growing zone they live in! If you are in Zone 4, Chinese wisteria is the only one that will survive. In a warmer zone, personal preference is the deciding factor. Read the nursery tags and make a choice. Do be sure your plant is grown from cuttings, not seeds. Seed-grown wisteria is sometimes sold but takes a long time to flower...sometimes, never.
Reply:any of the purple ones, i saw one that was called dragon something once, it was really dark purple, very pretty, looks great against brick
Reply:Wisteria's look lovely in magazines but they are a pain unless you are a proffesional gardener. They are rampant, damaging and take years to flower. when they drop thier leaves, what a mess. Go for a nice clematis or virginia creeper instead.
Reply:I wish I knew the answer I bought one 8 years ago the foliage is wonderful but it never flowers
Reply:I may miss this as you are in UK...we, in the southern part of US grow the Milletttia reticulata as it is evergreen.. blooming from July though September and is not so rampant as other Wisterias.
