We have inherited a wisteria from the previous owners of our house. We've lived here about a year and last spring/summer it grew very fast but only leaves. I cut back the whippy bits late august and can see it's got new leaf buds on it now, but nothing that looks like flower buds (from Google, I've no prior wisteria experience!).
It's pretty woody, about 5-6ft tall with spread of about 5 metres. I read they should be west or south facing as they need a lot of sun to flower. It's east facing but I do park my car in front of it which is likely to cast shadow for the part of the day the roots/trunk would get the sun. I am planning on training it round a corner where the growth will end up south west facing (but only part of it).
Any ideas on how to make it flower? The previous owners were very much knowledgeable gardeners so I'm hoping there's a chance I can get it to bloom.
Wise MN gardeners, do you think simply moving my car and training half of it towards SW facing may help?
