Wrap your garden wall, fence, or pergola in this sumptuous, delicately tinted, twining, deciduous climber with leaves divided into narrow, lance-shaped leaflets. The award-winning 'Kimono' has multiple, whitish-lilac, pea-like blooms forming elegant racemes that gently sway in the breeze in late spring to early summer. Seen here set against a sea of Alliums, this unusual form of wisteria would make a perfect gift if you're looking for something a little different for your gardening friend. Raised from a cutting, this wisteria is in flower earlier than seed-grown forms.
Incorporate some well-rotted organic matter and mycorrhizal fungi when planting your Wisteria and keep well-watered until established, particularly in dry summers. Prune in July to reduce the long thin green growth and again in January to further reduce these stems to encourage flower buds.
To avoid dry conditions, and to ensure good soil contact around the rootball, we advise planting climbers at least 30cm (12in), and preferably 45-60cm (18-24in) away from the base of a wall or fence. An even larger distance should be maintained when planting climbers beside an existing tree or shrub.
