It's growing the vines and beautiful leaves on an archway my friend made for me, and I'm grateful for the growth, but should I do something else? I've had it 3 years and prune like I'm supposed to. Last September, I did get one cluster, and it was beautiful, but that's it! But the ones growing wild around here in CT are awesome! They're also 10 times bigger. Thanks in advance!
If my chinese wisteria doesnn't bloom again THIS year, what do I do?
Give it a bit more time. Cut back current year's side growths to about 6in after its flowering season. We have the same problem ours is taking a bit longer to get established - this will be its 3rd year as well.
Reply:High-phosphorous fertilizers encourage bloom growth on many plants. Check and see if it will help your wisteria also.
Note: high-nitrogen fertilizers encourage foliage growth (leaves).
Reply:Try cutting some of the roots. Take a shovel, and just insert it into the ground a few places around it. This is the first year I'm getting any flowers at all on the ones I take care of at work. (It's been 5 years)
Reply:Bite the bullet and cut it right back
Cruel to be kind
Reply:Chinese Wisteria doesn't bloom until the plant itself reaches a certain maturity-- like about 5 years. So be patient, the flowers are coming soon.
Reply:I have used Miracle Grow professionally for the past year (switched around alot over the years), but nothing has made such a dramatic difference as this product.

Do all Wisteria vines flower?
I have this 10 year old wisteria vine and it have never flowered before. Do some species just never flower or is there something i can do to get it to bloom?
Do all Wisteria vines flower?
if i'am not mistaken wisteria will not flower on the ground , only when it climb's.
Reply:Some wisterias take as long as 15-16 yrs before they bloom.
Reply:Yes they do. Have you been pruning yours back too much? If you do this it will not bloom. Also it depends where you live. All I have ever seen bloom. We have them growing the woods and every where else around here. Don't you just love them?
Reply:Is it getting plenty of sun?
We have one that doesn't bloom anymore. The trees have grown so much in the last ten years that the wisteria is now in the shade most of the day.
Reply:it will flower in time,(well it has to doesn't it).

Can I grow Wisteria and Lilac in North Texas and when is the best time to plant them?
Yes they grow very well in North Texas. Right now is the time to plant them. I'm from North Texas. Lilacs grow very well here.
Can I grow Wisteria and Lilac in North Texas and when is the best time to plant them?
I am in zone 7 Fort Smith AR. Are you zone 8? Wisteria grows like crazy here so I am sure they would grow there. But lilacs don't do so well. I grew up zone 5 and you would see them everywhere. I haven't seen a healthy lilac here yet. They all seem to get powdery mildew if they survive the heat at all.
Reply:Wisteria grows in East Texas so I expect it to grow in North Texas.
I don't think lilacs will. They need a milder climate. We have tried them but with no luck.

Wisteria vines near a wall?
I am thinking of planting Wisteria near a wall so it will cover the harsh lines of the architecture. Is that going to curtail it growth as I have heard it should be ground near structures like arbor, fence, etc?
Wisteria vines near a wall?
For really prolific flowering Wisteria needs some root restriction, this can be done with bricks below ground. The roots need to grow, but also to struggle a little. Wisteria will need wall support, perhaps a LARGE trellis, or wires from gutter to ground. The plant will need `tying in` as Wisteria is a lax grower and will need wall support.
Reply:I had a magnificent one which was growing up under a verandah edge, supported by the posts and some wire, to train it along. It worked well. I've seen many growing in all sorts of places, so I don't think it would matter been near a wall. As long as it has plenty of support, where you can help it along as it grows. It will be very heavy.
Reply:That sounds nice. But if you plant it next to your home it will invade it. Once it takes root you cant get rid of it. It keeps coming back.

How do you take care of wisteria. I had one for 3 years and it never bloomed.?
Don't feed it. Fertilizing a Wisteria will give you big healthy leaves, but no flowers. If it's close to the lawn, you'll want to avoid lawn food near the roots of the Wisteria.
Also, 3 years is still a baby plant. It can take 7 years before you see flowers. In the future, it's worth it to spend the extra money for a big plant that already has flowers.
How do you take care of wisteria. I had one for 3 years and it never bloomed.?
We call the wisteria vine, "the vine from hell". Just water that sucker a couple of times a week and stand back. It will grow 3 ft. tendrils in one day given adequate water. It is almost impossible to over water this plant.
The clusters of flowers will form where the new tendrils meet the old wood from last year. If you aren't getting flowers, you may not be watering enough, or cutting it back too severe and removing the flowering area.
Why call it the vine from hell? It covered the end of our house, crushed the solar system pipes, lifted shingles off the roof and even grew through the siding on the house.

Will wisteria grow in a tropical / sub tropical climate?
They are originally from China, Japan, and Korea; so if you mean that type of climate; yes.
Will wisteria grow in a tropical / sub tropical climate?
Probably! I live in coastal SC and it thrives here quite well. It can be a bit invasive if you don't keep it in check, but it is stunning when in bloom!!
Reply:Chinese Wisteria will not only grow, it will tend to take over everything. Down here it grows up %26amp; over telephone poles and trees.
Reply:Here is more information for you on the care of this beautiful plant:
http://ohioline.osu.edu/hyg-fact/1000/12...
We share a one with our neighbor and look forward to its spring show of purple flowers.
Here is a tip: Prune right after the spring flowers fad and do not prune again during the summer and winter except for vines that get out of control. This will cause your plant to bloom the next spring.
Do not fertilize unless needed (looking bad). This will give your pretty leaves, but no flowrs.

How do you kill wisteria and poison ivy?
Are you sure you want to kill your wisteria...that is a very slow growing vine that produces gorgeous flowers when it blooms. People would kill for a good sized plant...these things are very expensive to buy. As for the poison ivy, use roundup. DO NOT burn dead poison ivy..very toxic to the lungs if you breath in the smoke!
How do you kill wisteria and poison ivy?
Round-up has a special spray that is designed to kill poison ivy and poison oak.
Reply:Prune the wisteria back don't kill it, try Roundup Brush Killer on the poision Ivy, Wisteria is hard to get rid of just like trumpet vine, it sends off runners under ground and new sprouts will keep coming up so do invasive trimming on the Wisteria, if you really want to kill the Wisteria you will just have to keep spraying and spraying and spraying it, it is almost impossible to get rid of.
