Emma, it's beautiful and I love the pot! I remember reading ages ago that you can train a wisteria into a tree shape (like a rose tree), but don't remember any of the details...saw it in a gardening catalogue & it was stunning but VERY pricy because of the time & labor involved! Do you leave it outdoors in the winter or move it in to a shed? |

Mags it does look really pretty when the light comes on  Dandysmom, I leave it on the patio each year so it has to deal with sub zero temperatures. I just purchased a wisteria with a good long main stem trimmed off the lower branches potted it up and put the stake in to keep it upright, in time when the trunk is big enough I will remove it. It doesn't get much TLC, hardly water it and I haven't so far fed it at all although I might this year. |

You must tell us the secret of getting a potted wisteria to flower. My wisteria at the front (& therefore facing NE) is in fat bud but not flower yet. I'll put a pic when it's out. I love it! |

hmmm DM I am not sure if there is a secret to get it to flower in a pot I think buying a good healthy plant obviously helps. I know they can take years to flower if they are unhappy. If anybody wanted to try one in a pot you could always buy one that is already in flower. |

I've got one that my mum gave me as a single stick (just a self-sown plant I think). We brought it here, so I've had it at least 4 years old, probably 6. It's in a pot and it's against a south facing wall - it should be in wisteria heaven, but I always understood that they were unlikely to flower when potted. Maybe one day I'll plant it, but it's a big pot so I'd have to dig a big hole! |

DM I am not sure if mine was one that was grafted, I don't think it was. Here is a few sites I used when first looking into getting a Wisteria http://www.rippingale.com/wisfaq.html#8 http://members.tripod.com/~Flaurel/wisteria.html |

My neighbour's wisteria. It's divine. I've always wanted one, but this one's been there for ages (well before we moved in) so I guess I'll have to start now to enjoy one into my retirement!!!  |
