A simple to understand video . To the point and exactly what I needed to know . Thanks for upload .
I have a wisteria I bought when pregnant with my son. He’ll be 21 in July & we’ve yet to see even one bloom! I’ve never pruned it, it’s climbed waaaaay up into a maple tree, so I’ll try my best. Hopefully I can learn a bit more about pruning, but thanks so much for the tips!!! I’d never have thought not pruning could be the issue!
Hi, It is well worth pruning it because Wisteria is so vigorous, if left unchecked it will put on miles of growth and leaves at the expense of flowers. Good luck!
I had been growing wisteria for decades! Thanks for simple yet important tips.
so pleased you found it helpful.
Wisteria always generates so much interest and comment! Once it has started to flower with the right pruning it will reward every year. I had hoped to go to Japan this year in part to see their gardens but world events have intervened.........on the back burner for now.
Youd make a WONDERFUL horticulture speaker!! Im in awe of your knowledhe, and how you deliver it! You make it crystal clear.. ****
Thank you, so pleased you found the video helpful.
Hi Jody Wisteria grows best on fertile well-drained soil, but they are quite tough and vigorous which means they will tolerate most soil types although you will need to add some drainage to heavy clay. More important is to plant them where there is plenty of sun, west or south facing.
Thank you for this video! I started wisteria in a pot and transplanted it this spring to its new home on a fence with a patterned wire trellis. Looking forward to its blooms!
Thanks, I am pleased you enjoyed the video.
I love your video. It's very accurate and to the point! The quality of the picture is very sharp and easy to see. You speak clearly, you dress appropriate. Excellent! I have been hours trying to find a video like yours. Not many discuss pruning. I wonder if you might give me some pointers on how to successfully propagate wisteria. I bought my plant from Walmart (a large discount franchise.). It is growing like a forest fire! It is a very busy, nosy plant!!! (Actually I'm concerned about where I planted it and have no help moving it.). I can't lift right now.
thank you from winston-salem, nc, usa! i found you late, but you'll have me looking fantastic next season!
Good to hear from you Monique next year will be a bumper year
This is one of the most informative videos I have come across regarding pruning wisteria. Thank you!
I have some major wisteria overgrowth due to my recently purchased property being largely unoccupied for the last 20 years. The base is large enough that I'm guessing it is between 60 and 100 years old.
How far back can I hard tune it in order to retrain this massive beast? I don't want to kill it, but I also need to get it out of my trees so I don't lose them!
Hi I am so pleased to read you enjoyed the video. Renovating an overgrown Wisteria is not easy. You may want to consider pruning it back over two seasons and also, as you are no doubt aware, pruning now may interrupt the flowering cycle. I would start by removing anything which looks dead or diseased. You may want to revisit this once it has put on some leaves as you may then see more bare branches which can be removed. If you think about the shape you want to finish with, as in a single trunk with lateral branches running off at intervals you want to prune to achieve this removing excess branches and pruning it back to fit the space/wall it is growing over. I would not prune into the main trunk you may risk causing major damage/death. Given how mature it is and wanting to preserve it I would definitely consider this a project for over 2/3 years. You can remove all the dead parts now, but over the 2/3 years prune off more of the unwanted growth taking stock each year to see how the mature plant is responds to the prune. If laterals are growing
from the base I would remove those. Hope this helps.
Thank you so much. That was refreshingly clear and very helpful.
I would start to prune it as soon as it puts on growth so that you can get into shape and the twice yearly routine of pruning to encourage it to flower. When it first grows as a new plant, cut back the leader shoot to a bud and remove the laterals in the summer. In the following winter cut back leader shoot again , not so harshly and leave on some of the new growth so the leader shoot is longer. Cut back laterals by about a third and start to train laterals into the shape you want to plant to become which usually means training laterals horizontally along supports with one upward lateral, but you may have a different design and shape involved. As the Wisteria is now getting under way you can start to prune it as per the video winter and summer. I hope this helps.
TheTsundaygardener can I prune mine now in May? It’s about 2 -3 years old and hasn’t flowered yet but I’ve never pruned it 🤔
To quote from an old expert gardener friend (sadly deceased): "Wisteria, a damned rogue of a plant, just like a pretty woman (or a handsome man), wonderful for two weeks of the year, and a bloody nuisance for the rest of the year." !!
I agree! I have a 100 y.o. Wisteria, very temperamental, flowering varies from year to year, I am still learning how to get the best flowers. Prune in August, remove long shoots as you say; prune in February - remember the number 2, cut new growth back to 2 buds, not 3, or 4, but 2. I have also read recently that the plant flowers best under stress, poor soil, low watering. 3 years ago, it had gotten out of control, so it got a hard pruning, it sulked for a year (just like a temperamental partner!), and put on a reasonable display last April. I've just pruned it (almost August), and there are plenty of flowering spurs for next year. Mine is West facing, but the best W's face South & like the HEAT. I've seen some magnificent specimens in N Thailand in the height of the hot / dry season. The quality of the original plant is also important, some great modern hybrids which don't go so far out of control. I live in hope for 2021. Nice vid BTW, thank you.
Thanks for your comments and a memorable quote! And very interesting what you say about Thailand, I had hoped to go to Japan this year, around Wisteria time, but like so many plans put to one side for now. Wonderful to have a 100 year old Wisteria sounds like you will have a good display next year.
Thanks for your enquiry. I have been fortunate because I have never had to feed my Wisteria. If it needed a feed, I would give blood fish and bone meal in the spring. I would avoid high nitrogen feeds which stimulate growth, which the Wisteria does well on its own being a vigorous plant, better potash based feeds to encourage flowering. I would feed wisteria if it failed to flower. Good luck, Wisteria are one of our most lovely climbing plants to grow.
Ah, potash feeds, thanks for that.
I’ve been watching videos on wisteria since March and I’m excited to see blooms this upcoming spring!
Wisteria in full bloom is a beautiful sight for sure.
Just seen this! my wisteria flowered for the first time this year, 3 years since I bought it. Now know how to prune. Thank you
I bought my wisteria in 2017, there's no signal for flower bud..i live in tropical country, very very hot in here..i'm scare my wisterial will never flowering..
@@kenzhikharisma I live in the UK, and a wisteria at my old address took 4 years to flower! The disappointing thing about this one is that it has only a light scent. I have now bought one that is guaranteed to have a good scent, but am just hoping I live long enough to see it flower! Good luck with yours
@@catherinetaylor2333 hai catherine, greeting from indonesia :)..recently i collect many photo from UK and other country from Europe, especially about wisteria..i wish someday, i can see it by my self because wisteria is my dream flower vine since i was young...🙏🙏🙏♥️
@@kenzhikharisma What a beautiful place to live - I am sure you can grow many plants that we can only dream of.. I watched the video of the largest wisteria in the world, saved when it was dying for lack of space, by a lovely Japanese woman. I would love to see it in person, but am too old now to travel so far. Like you, I have always loved wisteria, but it was only a few years ago that I decided I would just have to put up with a few years of non-flowering if I was to have one in my garden. I was inspired by a friend of mine who loves magnolias, but could not put up waiting for it to bloom. She has been in the same home now for about 40 years, so she could by now have a magnificent flowering tree! I hope you get to do your travelling
I didn’t know the wisteria can be grown up against the wall, it’s gorgeous!
Wisteria is ideal for growing up a wall. It is not self-clinging so it needs a framework, hook, and wires are often used and off it grows!
MANY THANKS FOR YOUR VIDEO, After many years of looking for a video of wisteria care, your is the best. It's clearly explained, easy to understand and not rushed. SOUND QUALITY very good, as some video's are very low. Once again a big thank you.
Kind regards
I love your wisteria flower making video very much. Thank you for your advice.
So pleased you like it Samir.
Great video and you gave me the information I needed, I’ve had my wisteria for about a year now and it’s growing like crazy! I was scared to cut the long shot down somewhat for fear of harming the pant. You have given the info on how to cut it back and keep it manageable. Thank you so very much,
Thanks, pleased you like the video now you can prune away at your wisteria and be confident of next year's flowers.
Very useful and sharp to point
thank you!
Could you do a brief video talk on actually planting a wisteria , and what to feed . I intend planting two on either side of an arbor and would love to hear your advice . Thanks
Thank you from buenos aires argentina!! you are the best
Thanks Matias very kind of you to comment and happy that you like my videos.
Very helpful, Thank you, from South Africa, where I have a young plant and wondering when it will bear flowers.... It's about 4/5 years old now and we're in a subtropical region on the East Coast
I Would expect it to flower soon. I usually recommend buying a wisteria when it is in flower so you know it will flower.
Thank you, I adore this plant.
Well done and easy to understand you and what you're saying so many videos are just hopless 😂
Thanks very much for your kind comments.
This made my day
Hi I am so pleased you liked it- there are also some relaxing summer videos of bees and frogs which you may enjoy.
So amazing and interesting vedio
Thanks Josie, very kind of you to say so.
I will have to try again. I love the flower!
Great informations 👏👏👏👌👌👌👌👌👌
Glad you enjoyed it!
😊
Hi Madhu Thanks for your question and I can understand why you ask it. I can only say that Wisteria is commonly grown against south facing house walls all over the country, it is a very common sight at this time of the year and I have not heard of complaints about it disturbing the foundations. I am not a surveyor, and if you had concerns, you would need advice from surveyor but if it worries you plant elsewhere to put your mind at rest.
Outstanding, awesome video! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you, so pleased you liked it.
Thank you so much. This is a Great video.
I cut both my wisterias back with a hedge cutter to keep it tidy....it flowers every year without any fafing!
Hi , how old is your wisterias? Are you worried about it’s too close to the foundation of your house ? Well , I planted a small wisteria under my deck yesterday. I started to worry about now . I am going to find a video which show me how the roots of wisteria grow under the ground . Thank you for sharing the video . I learn how to trim it now .
Hi it was planted in 2007.
For the first time in 10 years, the wisteria that I inherited has flowered. I was actually looking for videos on how to take cuttings and grow more wisteria around the house, and I came to your video. I thank you for uploading this very informative video, and would ask you, what is the best way to take and grow cuttings from the wisteria that I have?
You have actually given me hope. I have a wisteria that has not flowered in over 20 years but I am going to try the pruning advice next month in August and see what happens! Fingers crossed, thanks again!
Interesting info but I don’t have to worry about the plant being vigorous! Where I live hot n dry plants grow slowly n lazy.
Fabulous ave just bought one carnt wait to plant it
Sounds great, plant in a good sunny spot. The one in the video is growing on a south/south west facing wall.
@@TheTsundaygardener thank you i will be planting it next to a pegoda so i can train it to grow up it in a south facing position many thanks
I planted my Wisteria more than 10 years ago. It only grew about 2 meters in length which is as high as a standard door, and has never flowered. I have seen other Wisterias in the area so it should have grown or flowered by now
Hi - it is not unusual for a Wisteria to fail to flower but very unusual for it to fail to grow as its a vigorous plant. The fact that it has only grown 2 meters in 10 years suggests the plant is either planted in an unsuitable position or more likely it is a poor plant. I would wait until spring next year , dig it out and buy a replacement, and buy a Wisteria which is in flower at the time of purchase, so you know it can flower, and it should thrive. I think you have a dud plant, which means, unfortunately, the only solution is to replace it.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, I think mine has been cut back far to much as it’s never flowered since, will it ever come back do you think or have l lost it for ever 🥺
I would not give up on it as yet. Prune it in August and February as per the video and see if blooms next May. Wisteria is very robust and if you adopt a lesser pruning regime it may well recover.
In one of your comments you mention blood fish and bone. I wish they sold it here in the United states premixed, I heard about it from the RUclips channel Home Grown Veg, so I started mixing it up myself from the individual components. I’m putting it in with my veggies, and I’ll try my wisteria too. This is my first season trying it, we’ll see how it goes! 🤗😄
Thanks for your wonderful advice.
Oddly, one of my Wisterias grew rapidly but never flowered, although regularily pruned. Then I planted it to an old plum tree to climb up, didn't prune it since (2 years) and this year it has flowers for the first time in 8 years that I have it. Some individuals don't seem to know the rules.
Just to prove there is never an absolute "right" or "wrong" when gardening-nature can be perverse!
Thank you!
Hi Susie, thank you for sharing your video. I bought a wisteria about 3 years ago, it wasn't in flower, and it hasn't really dine very much until this year. All of a sudden it has put on some new growth and is almost to the top of my pergola. Some of the new shoots are dying and the new growth looks a yellow and unhealthy. Should I cut back this new growth? Not had any flowers but I was expecting it to get a bit bigger first. If I cut back it will be back to the size it was last year.
Just osm 👏👏👏👌👌👌👌👌👌👏👏👏
Thank you!!! 🙏
Excellent video! Found this to be very informative. 😊
Thanks really pleased you enjoyed it.
Thank you very much. Mine have been in 2 yrs and it's great but no flower yet.
It would be helpful to refer to seasons rather than months.
Hi Lesley. To get Wisteria to flower it does need to be pruned twice a year and the second summer prune is done around now in July .Have a look at my web page on growing and pruning Wisteria sundaygardener.co.uk/how_to_grow_wisteria.html and check out the video dealing with the summer prune and then I would prune the Wisteria as per the information. You are not cutting it back to original size; prune off the long whippy growth as it shows on the page and video and then prune again in February and with some luck it should flower next spring. Carol- The Sunday Gardener

I want to see this flowers. Please make a video in this topic. Think you.
Hello Samir - there is a video showing this actual Wisteria in flower on my channel - take a look at the one called Wonderful Wisteria ruclips.net/video/CVpba50iDf8/видео.html that is the same Wisteria a few years later in flower- hope this helps! Carol.

Great video. I prune as you say, then I find I get more growth coming from the point that I have pruned to. What should I do with those please. I am guessing I should cut them back to the first prune.
Hi I am not quite sure what you mean. You prune in Feb and then this time of year/August prune again. Wisteria is very vigorous and if you prune away a lot of growth this time of year should keep the plant in check until its winter prune. If i have misunderstood the question feel free to e mail direct to my website with any pictures and I'll try to help.
@@TheTsundaygardener Hi. Sorry, I am pruning now the whippy shoots to within 6/7 buds from whence they came. What is happening from that point, more shoots which if left become whippy are appearing.
ยายมารับชมนะค่ะ
Hi Susie Thank you so much for your kind comments I am delighted that you enjoyed the video. I have not propagated Wisteria, as you point out they grow so vigorously that one is often enough. If you are worried about your Wisteria overgrowing its space prune it back harder in the summer prune taking off even more of the young growth. The best advice on propagating Wisteria I can offer is a link to the RHS web site on Wisteria www.rhs.org.uk/advice/profile?pid=404 which I hope you find helpful. Your question is timely as now is a good time to taking cuttings for propagation of Wisteria and many other popular garden plants such as Clematis, passion flower, rosemary, lavender, thyme, and good luck with the cuttings.
I have this fella near me that has wisteria over his entire house , it looks beautiful, but he told me the roots are starting too raise his patio, and it's planted right next too his home, will the roots damage his home in anyway ? And is there any Solutions?
Hi there, I feel your friend needs specialist advice there are too many factors to take into account- it hasn't done this where I am growing wisteria but then it depends on the variety, ground conditions, climate, lots of different factors come into play and I don't feel qualified to comment- sorry.
I live in Canada where we get snow up to May, and it's impossible to prune in February because all the soils are covered in 30+ cm of snow. Do you think my Wisteria still has a chance?
Hi Tima - I am sorry I cannot be definitive in my response as I am not familiar with growing conditions in Canada. What I can tell you that Wisteria is hardy to about -20C but long term it will not flower well without a prune in February. When you have snow in May, it should be in bloom, so I doubt it. I think the degree of cold will not be such a problem as the late snow. One sure-fire way to know is if nobody else is growing it in the locality, chances are it will not survive where you are.
Mine is 15 yrs old. It has not flowered ever! There are little buds all over it this year tho! 🤞🤞
Thank you for you video. I am going to order 2 bare root Japanese Wisteria from a catalog soon and I was wondering what type of fertilizer you would recommend to feed it. I hear not to feed it nitrogen is that true?. Thank you.

I have a wisteria that refuses to flower . It was not too well last year showing some nourishment deficit . I’ve gave it some manure and other but to my disappointment the wisteria didn’t flower .
That is disappointing. Is it planted in a sunny spot and have you been pruning it regularly?
Thank you for your excellent video and advice . My only question is I live in the U.S.A in the north part of the country and although I know it grows just fine here we get snow and ice in Feb. So should I just prune in Aug . Our spring goes from April - May summer is June - Aug . Thanks
Hi, thanks for your comment and I am pleased that you liked the video. I live in the North of England and we get snow and ice here including in February and it can go down to -10/-15 in this part of England. It is hard for me to be definitive, as a gardener in England but my gut instinct would be to prune in Feb as well as both pruning are important to ensure flowering.
TheTsundaygardener thank you so much for your reply. Have a wonderful day
I have had wisteria in my garden for about 2 years now which hasn’t yet flowered. We are in early May now.... can I prune now or do I have to wait until August? Thanks
How long does it generally take wisteria to go into bloom? I planted some 15 yrs ago now, it has nice big trunks and healthy green foliage but no flowering. Is it possible that I planted a wisteria that just will not bloom? Thank you 🙏
Well, it doesn't take 15 years so I am sorry you do not have any blooms. If it is planted in a sunny spot and has been pruned, but is still not flowering I think it is down to a poor plant. You will note I say in the video and on the website that it is best to buy a plant in May which is in flower, so you know it will flower. It is best to buy a wisteria which is a grafted plant or grown from a cutting, not from seed that may never flower. It may be best to start again, which you could do by buying a grafted plant, in April /May with flowers on it, plant in full sun, prune it per the advice July and February, and it will flower. Hope this helps
Thanks ! Very helpful. Can I grow this in a container?
Hi Pumba - you can grow Wisteria in a container, and some gardeners do that to restrict its growth so that it is more vigorous. If you grow it in a container you will need to ensure it is a good size, and that you water during very dry spells. It can sometimes be tricky to get Wisteria to flower make sure you buy one in flower so you know it will flower. If later it ceases to flower, (as I have known to happen with container grown Wisteria, )you may need to replant in the ground. However, generally, Wisteria can be grown successfully in containers.
@@TheTsundaygardener This is very helpful. Thanks you so much ! I have already bought one Wisteria plant and now going to get a good size container.
I'm in the Thailand, Summer is from April to June, and the rainy season is from July to October with winters having average highs of 20-28ºC ,When is the Best Time to Prune?
I'm sorry Noar, I would love to help but I am no authority on growing Wisteria in Thailand - you will have to ask a local gardener.
Can we plant those lateral growths which you cut off? It would be ashamed to throw them away.
I would not recommend it. firstly you will prune these laterals in August and if you want to propagate Wisteria by cuttings the time to do it is in Spring. It can also take a long time to raise Wisteria from cuttings. Once the Wisteria is mature you will have a lot of lateral cuttings, too many to contemplate planting. Best for compost.
I love this plant. But I don't have a garden. Will Wisteria grow in a large pot? Thank you.
Hi Rima, Wisteria will grow in a pot provided it is a large pot placed in a sunny position. There are now a number of smaller varieties of Wisteria such as Wisteria frutescens 'Amethyst Falls' which only grows to three meters. You can also grow wisteria as a standard which, if you do not have garden space, may be helpful. Best Wishes Carol
Thank you. This is very helpful.
Mine has been in he ground over 10 yr. Purchased and had blooms on it. Have not had a single bud since. It is a wild crazy plant. What can l do to convince it to bloom for next year. ( l have threatened it that it will have the axe taken to it)
Hi Don't take the axe to it! Firstly give it a summer prune now as per this video and then, in February, give it a winter prune following the instructions as per my other video "How to Winter Prune Wisteria". Wisteria responds well to pruning and if pruned twice a year you should entice it into flower, assuming its in a sunny spot.
❤ thank u
I have a love hate relationship with my 2 wisterias. I did not research the plant and discovered way too late in the game that it spreads so fast getting out of hand under the ground choking out my other plants. Once this has started it is almost impossible to get it under control. I'd pot it under ground if I was to do this again. So much work to do on a plant to just bloom once a year. Beautiful? yes, but it can damage trees, houses and many other plants near by and destroy a garden. I don't think I'd ever plant a wisteria again. My branches are so thick that we have had to use a chain saw. Really! No garden tool I've ever seen could cut off these branches that went out of control. Don't plant until you have the time to take care of it. Way too much work if you don't get a hold of it from the beginning. Lesson learned and I'm hoping to get a handle on it soon.
Can wisteria withstand hot weather??I live in Malaysia hot climate..
I'm in the UK & have already bought a wisteria not in flower! I didn't realize it was best to choose one in flower 😢 does this mean I might struggle to get it to flower?
Do not worry. Buying one in flower is an added precaution, but if you follow the pruning regieme, it should still flower.
Hi. We have a young plant about 3.5ft. Bought from a nursery in April. When should I start pruning it as some websites say after 1 or 2 summers but it is confusing as most advice is for established plants
In the first summer prune, tie in the leader vertically and pick out two good strong laterals and tie them in horizontally. Prune side shoots to around 15cms. In the winter, prune laterals by about 1/3. In the second and subsequent years, you can begin to prune as normal, often increasing the level of pruning with time as the plant will become more vigorous as it gets established and needs more pruning to contain it and to get it to flower. I hope this helps- Carol.
Can wisteria be propagated from the lateral growth prunings? Does it require wood from the previous season to propagate from cuttings? Thanks.
Wisteria can be propagated but given all the problems in getting Wisteria to flower, I always advise to buy a young plant in flower so that you start with a product which you know will flower.
what are the things that look like peapods?,are they to be lift on?
Hi Brenda I am not sure what you mean - if its the spent flowers they will fall off of their own accord as the season progresses.
My wisteria never flower ed , I cut it to the end, grown back again twice still no flower, anything I can do ?
Nothing that immediately comes to mind, sorry to say. Did it up and plant another may be your only way forward.
Hi can you do a cutting by putting in water
If you did, you would have to wait a very long time for it to flower measured in years rather than months. The best advice is to buy a small Wisteria in flower, at this time of year, so you know it will flower, and then follow the pruning regime.
Do japanese whisteria need to be winterized like juniper i just got some seeds and wish to bonsai it
I'm growing a wisteria bonsai
that sounds very unusual! love to know how you get on.
Sounds like so much effort
Can you train lateral growth round the trunk?
Hi I am not sure what you mean. The lateral growth from the very base of the Wisteria is best removed
Is it safe to plant it so close to house ?
I've had a wisteria planted here at the New Jersey shore (very sandy soil) for over 10 years. It is vigorous and only flowered once (very small showing), what would you suggest as a feeding to get flowers. Thank you.
For flowers you need a feed high in potash and low in nitrogen, which promotes leaf growth. The fertiliser/feed container will list the proportions on on it; look for one with high P. I assume you are following the pruning regime as otherwise no amount of feeding will bring it into flower.
thank you. Ill let you know when the flowers bloom. :-)
I must admit though I do cut back the long off shoots when they get out of hand during the summer.
What kind of soil is best?
Saving this in case demons attack my house.
Thanks for the comment and I am very pleased the video was helpful. I have always purchased Wisteria in flower to make sure it can flower so I haven't tried to grow from a cutting so the best I can do is to send a link to the authoritative RHS pages on the subject. www.rhs.org.uk/advice/profile?PID=173 and if for any reason the link doesn't work search the web site for Wisteria.
I hardly get buds. My vines are 10 years old.! What should I do?
I am sorry to bring bad news, but if your Wisteria has not flowered in 10 years, I don't have much hope it will. I would start again, and buy a wisteria now, so you can see it can flower. Wisteria being sold in garden centres at this time of year is coming into flower so start with a plant that will flower. If you go to my website www.sundaygardener.co.uk/how-to-grow-wisteria.html it has lots of growing tips including how to prune a new wisteria and then prune it twice a year. Make sure you plant your new wisteria in a sunny spot and hopefully next year you will have flowers. Any more questions just drop me a mail.

If I wait till august to cut wisteria I will have a forest, can I cut wisteria along the year and make the final cut back to 5buds?
Hi I am not sure in which part of the world you are gardening. If you cut wisteria from now until when it flowers, which in the UK is mid April to end of May, because it is late in the year if you cut back too much you will reduce the flowering. The routine is to prune hard at the end of the summer, July/August, and then prune again in February. If you have not pruned this year I would leave the Wisteria until July and then you can prune hard to reduce size. Hope this helps
I cut my wisteria in half and cut into the old branches... 5 years ago. NO flowers despite gentle pruning thereafter.... even cuttings dont flower! The wisteria is 80 years old ish
that's a real shame, Fred. Mature Wisteria is very sensitive to be cut back severely especially into mature old wood. One of my relatives had a "gardener" cut back a wisteria very hard, the same result never flowered. Maybe you could grow another nearby?
You CANNOT damage wisteria. The stuff behind her grew 1 foot during her video.
Can it flower in a place like Hawaii?
Hi Juan, I am UK based which means, unfortunately, I have no experience of growing conditions in Hawaii. I can only suggest you walk around the local neighbourhood and see what is being cultivated and whether anyone is growing Wisterias.

Well it is a long time ago when I purchased it but I am fairly sure it is Chinese, Wisteria sinensis.

I wonder if anyone is watching this because of Kimetsu no Yaiba
Bro same!
Regret will come when the base of the plant gets so large that it tears apart your foundation...
Pathetic comment. Everyone grows them this way in the UK. We have lovely houses covered in them. Never heard of foundation issues because the roots are not thick. Now stop being jealous
Say in Hindi
"buy a wisteria with buds" thanks lady thats just genius. This video is so stupid i stared at it after it finished for some time in a trance 😶
