Wisteria - in a container?

[orangina01]

I'm quite new to gardening and this is my first post! Lately I've become slightly obsessed with buying clearance plants and attempting to nurture them back to life. So far, with varied success...

My current project is a wisteria I rescued and am attempting to grow in a container, as a. It's tiny at the moment and b. I'm a bit scared to put it next to my house in case it takes over.

It's small but healthy so far, anyone have any experience growing a wisteria in a container who can offer any tips? It's a Rosea variety. Thanks!

I grow mine in a large container, for two years. It has flowered in both years and I don’t let it get more than 4ft.
I’ve just pruned this year’s Whippy growth and will prune it again in the winter/ spring. Other than that keep it watered and feed in the spring.

Thanks that good to hear, and probably what I'll do over the next few years. I'm so tempted to train it above our bay window but Google has me terrified it'll be too invasive.

I'd go for it. They can be cantankerous but if youre lucky you'll get years out of it. If it gets too big then cut it back.

With anything in a container, you can tip it out, prune the roots and re-pot after a few years, but with tip-tp compost, leaf mould, etc.

Harder with a climber, but not impossible.

Btw as you say you new to gardening, there's a specific way to prune wisteria, twice a year, to ensure flowers. Read up on it and it will reward you beautifully.
