Wisteria help

[sowhatusernameisnttaken]

I have a wisteria floribunda in my garden and it has grown lovely green leaves all over and continues to twine/climb on it's trellis bit as yet I've never had any flowers. Do they take a while to establish themselves? Can I take the green leaves as a good sign, when might I see flowers on it?

Wisteria needs specific pruning to encourage flowering. Have a read if this www.rhs.org.uk/advice/profile?pid=242 It sounds complicated but I did it last year to mine and we had a gorgeous show of flowers!

How old is the plant? Wisteria can grow blind for many years before producing flowers!

I'd heard they take seven years before they flower for the first time. I might have a go at pruning ours anyway

Our wisteria sinensis responds well to a good chop - usually after flowering and again in autumn/winter or whenever I remember. However, some just never flower, so if it has been in for years and never flowered I'd be tempted to chop it right back.

Thanks everyone, I'm
Scared to cut it back incase I kill it but I'll have a read of this article and give it a go :-)

You can't kill a wisteria...I've tried!!! Seriously the more you hack it the more it seems to grow!
