Wisteria Planting Directions

You'll Love the Season Long Aromatherapy Sessions

Plant Purple Wisteria in your backyard and you'll smell it from the front of your house.

It's fragrance is kind of like a Lavender / Gardenia blend. It just puts you in a good mood. Open your windows on a breezy day and let it fill your home.

You can even clip off a few of these flower clusters and put them around your home. It's like a natural air freshener.

Huge 6-12 inch purple flowers brighten up your landscape. Somehow in the spring, these small vines produce these giant floral arrangements.

Purple Wisteria is much more versatile than most vines. They can:

Transform an old fence into something beautiful.
Turn a plain tree into a classic flowering specimen.
Create an elegant trellis like you see throughout the Biltmore House & other regal estates.

Purple Wisteria grows as tall as it's host, typically up to a maximum of 30 feet. If planting along a fence, space every 4-5 feet.

This is a very forgiving plant. It grows in a wide range of soils- even sand and clay. Tolerates drought and salt. Flowers best in full sun, but can grow in partial shade in the south.

Beware that not all Purple Wisteria is the same. If you buy a small plant, it could take 2-3 years before it blooms.

We don't offer Wisteria in small containers or bare-root, like many nurseries. Instead you get a well developed plant that will bloom sooner rather than later.

Plant several for a fragrance you'll smell from a distance.

Karen Obermuhler

My Purple Wisteria Vine arrived in good condition. Lovely plant, good size for the money spent.

Bruce Anderson

Wisteria grows like nothing I have ever seen before. I put two plants that were around 3 feet tall on both sides of the trellis I built. The trellis is 8 feet tall and both plants have already covered the entire thing from top to bottom weaving in and out of the lattice. These plants were put into soil that wont even grow fescue. wisteria is amazing, I strongly recommend this plant for anyone who likes flowering vines.

Ordered 2 Purple Wisteria Vines in the worst time to plant, planted one in sun and one in partial shade, kept them watered, both are doing great. I will never again bother with bare root garbage from other companies after being able to order gallon growth.

Your Purple wisteria vine was my third try here in Florida...and it is by far the best grower. The native American, Amethyst Falls and the Japanese plant have had tough going. I am very pleased with your quick delivery of a superior plant which loves my pergola as much as I love it.

Holly

The Purple Wisteria vine that I purchased several months ago is doing wonderful! I would purchase from Brighter Blooms Nursery again and would and have refer them to others!!

Kathy in Western Washington

The purple Wisteria I ordered is doing great. I love the delicate leaves. I just ordered this year and they have grown like I can't believe.

Sarah in Tampa, FL

My purple wisteria vine has been in the ground for about 6 months, and it seems to be very happy. It is growing quickly, and I'm sure that in a couple of years it will completely cover the trellis we built for it. It is the perfect "green" screen for our neighbor's patio.

Dorothy

My purple wisteria arrived quickly and safely, and took off growing like a rocket!! I am sooooo happy with it, and hope to order at least one more of them.

Dick & Sarah

I recently ordered some wisteria for my backyard landscaping. The plants arrived very quickly, and were very well protected by the way they were wrapped in the mailing package. The wisteria is now in the ground, and is growing as expected. I would purchase from Brighter Blooms Nursery again, and I would not hesitate to recommend their products or services.

Laura

I received my 2 purple wisteria vines at the beginning of April. I'm a novice gardener and I'd never grown wisteria before and I was worried when I received what looked like a couple of sticks in a pot. I went ahead and planted them and they IMMEDIATELY began growing. Now, it's the beginning of October and they have climbed all the way up (and around and through) my weaving 6 ft. fence. It looks amazing and I couldn't be happier with the purchase.

Purple Wisteria Vine

We recently moved and I finally have a place to grow a wisteria vine! In my excitement, I ordered one from Brighter Blooms because I knew that wisteria will take several years to flower, and I didn't want to waste another year. The plant that arrived was much bigger than I expected, and has been growing happily in a large planter, awaiting the trellis we will build for it next year. And boy, has it grown! I'm very happy with my purchase, and will buy from Brighter Blooms again.

Amanda

I ordered 2 wisteria plants at the end of last season, probably not the best time to be planting them, but they are now covering my pergola and looking great!

Margaret Sullivan

I planted the Wisteria in the spring and it has done beautifully. I liked the way it was packaged and the instructions that came with the plant. Very satisfied.

Jennie

I ordered some purple wisteria vines for our backyard landscaping against our fence on 2 sides. It took right away and has climbed over the fence and established itself well. I look forward to seeing it's late Spring blooms next year. It should be beautiful.

Debra and Steve

We received 2 Wisteria Vines at the beginning of the summer of 2009. The packaging was truly incredible and both plants were well protected. We planted one on each side of our arbor. Both plants are healthy and have grown at a steady rate. We look forward to beautiful purple flowers when the vines become more mature.

Angie Toothman

My Wisteria vine arrived in good shape and has really grown over the summer ... it is about 3x it's orginal size. Love it!!!!

TAMI

This wisteria is a wonderful addition! I am not with a green thumb and was afraid to even buy online but...it was 2-4 ft. and it was well worth it! I can literally almost watch it grow every day! I am in a zone 6 with clay soil, it grows anyway! I Will definitely be back again and again! Do not hesitate to purchase from them, everything is well packed and secure when you get it!

Lisa

I received my 2 Wisteria Vines a week ago. Have not planted them yet because of the frost we are having still.

David

I planted my 2 wisteria vines in the spring. The vines have covered a fence that is 4ft tall and 24ft long. Looking forward to Beautiful flowers upon maturity!

Cristy

I live in Central Florida. I ordered a number of different plants ( lilies, gardenias, and a purple Wisteria) in the Spring of 2010. All are doing well. The Wisteria we have built a trellis to allow it to grow to.

Lorraine

I bought 2 Wisterias in 2009 and they were very healthy when I received them. This year 2010 my husband came in the house and ask what were the beautiful purple flowering trees in the yard. I have never heard him rave over a plant or tree like this. I had to go out and see the trees for myself and they are gorgeous and full of huge purple blooms. I always wanted the tree, and I am so happy I bought them and will be purchasing 4 of them for a beautiful backdrop behind my pool. It is a beautiful tree with and without blooms.

Lynn

I recieved one Wisteria today 9-26-2010, We planted it, and Im hoping for the same results that everyone one else is raving about above. I have a Pagola and It is Perfectly located for full sun, I will let you know the results this spring.. So excited!

Sheryl

I bought a Wisteria for my mother for her birthday and had it shipped to her home in Maine. She said it was packaged beautifully and that the plant was very healthy looking. She was so pleased with the condition of the plant. I will certainly come back to this site for future plants.

Flower Power

I ordered a purple Wisteria from Brighter Blooms. It was dormant at the time. But then, oh boy what a difference! It is now very green full leaves on all the branches and I can tell it will bloom for sure. It has grown about 2 feet now. I absolutely love it and can't wait to see the blooms when the time comes. I will definitely be a returning customer.

Cindy

I purchased the wisteria vine. I was very pleased with the condition of the plants upon arrival, and how they adapted to my property.The wisteria, well, they are simply gorgeous. I will be back at Brighter Blooms, very soon, for another purchase for my gardens.

Betty in FL

These plants were donated to my church, Saint Madeleines in High Springs , fla. , The pastor said they looked very healthy and he was very appreciative for the donation of plants. I have bought other plants from brighter blooms, wisteria plants that I planted at our house and they have done wonderful! I recommend your company to all my friends.

Barbara in Salt Lake City, UT

Good service, fast delivery beautiful plant

TMACK

Ordered 3 purple wisteria plants for a trellised seating area arrived almost bare last fall planted and they have come up healthy and vigorous this spring with growth appearing in late April. Would order again from BB.

Alison

I ordered two vines in February (I live in Houston) and they bloomed the first season - in late March! I was so impressed. All my neighbors that have Wisteria have been waiting for years. We have clay soil and it's hot hot hot, but so far, both vines are doing great! You just have to be diligent about training it to grow where you want it (esp in the first year).

The reason I want white is it has a sweet fragrance. My wife and I love, white, pink and lavenda plants. Have an area with white wisteria, white dogwood, white azaleas, and white roses, and a magonlia tree. Around this area you can go into the woods and dig up purple wisteria.

I remember

I'm 52 and grew up and still live here in southwest Louisiana where the summers are brutally hot and humid. I remember my Mom having planted purple and white wisteria each, beneath pine trees. It was just a few short years before these aggresive and extremely hardy vines completely climbed to the top of these 50 foot evergreens covering the canopies. They were planted in our back yard and just driving by in spring you could smell the wonderful perfume from these magnificently beautiful plants. Honeybees loved them and it gave me a chance as a very young boy to observe these little honeymakers up close, at work, collecting pollen without the danger of getting stung. (as long as I only observed and didn't disturb them) The smell of wisterias remind me of the coming of summer and being barefoot. Love em!!

Martha Foster

I purchased 3 wisteria plants and received two in fair shape and one completely out of the pot.
