Homeowner Growing and Maintenance Tips:

For new plantings
1. Dig a hole one and a half times wider than the plant's container
2. Place plant in hole, keeping the top of the root ball ground level
3. Back fill with dirt
4. Water thoroughly and then mulch around the base to conserve moisture and reduce weeds
New plantings require more frequent watering than established plants. Wind, temperature and soil are factors to consider in watering.
Feed plants in early spring and again in early fall with an all-purpose fertilizer, following label instructions.


Care Instructions
Caring for a wisteria plant involves regular pruning and training to prevent it from becoming too invasive. Prune the plant in the summer by cutting back any lateral shoots to about 6 inches from the main stem. In the winter, remove any dead or damaged wood. Train the plant to grow along a trellis or arbor to showcase its beautiful blooms in the spring. The soil should be well-draining and kept moist, but not waterlogged. Fertilize with a balanced fertilizer in the spring and summer to encourage healthy growth.
