Super pleased with myself, this plant has never flowers since we moved in to our house 3 years ago, but this year after a bit of TLC I'm super happy that it has. Please could somebody tell me what it is ?

Looks like a wisteria. Try the plant net app to see if you can pin down the variety, then you can find out a bit more about caring for it.

Wisteria. Smells divine. Jealous!

You’ve hit the jackpot - a wisteria in flower!

Wisteria, you lucky thing. To ensure flowering you need to prune it carefully. Have a look at utube, you need to see rather than have it explained. Do it, it will reward you tenfold next May.

Our neighbours have been carefully training a wisteria for a couple of years, now. It finally flowered, a few weeks ago, and the flowers were sort of beige :o

They say you should always buy wisteria in flower, so that you know what you’re getting!

OMG thank you so much, I have always wanted a wisteria and had no idea. The only downside side is we have sold our house and are due to move soon. I wish I could take it with me 😌

Its still got it's label. See if you can see the variety on it.

honeylou42 · 19/06/2021 14:33

No label unfortunately as it was in when we moved to the house. Could I take it with me does anybody know when we move or would it die ?

Looks like Wisteria Amethyst Falls to me. That has dumpy flower trusses but a stronger colour. You could dig it up and take it with you but it won’t like being moved at this time of year so it’s a gamble whether it will survive. You’d probably get away with it in the autumn/winter when it’s dormant

Dig it up and get its root ball. It’s really bloody hard to kill a wisteria. However they aren’t expensive and grow unbelievably fast. I’d just leave it and buy another one

It looks like it's in a planter, I'd pot it up into a big lightweight plastic pot and it should be fine.
