This plant belongs to a genus called climbing deciduous vines, which belong to the legume family. Wisteria has long, pinnate leaves, alternate. The clusters of inflorescences can reach 20-50 cm and they decorate the stems very beautifully. Depending on the species, wisteria can be of a wide variety of colors.

Wisteria is very difficult to care for, as it is a very thermophilic plant. If you want your plant to take root quickly and adapt well, then you should purchase a plant with a closed root system.

It is worth remembering that wisteria is a poisonous plant, which is why it is not recommended to plant it near water sources, since fish or other inhabitants may be affected by eating its leaves. Regular watering is important for wisteria, especially in spring with abundant flowering, as well as in summer, so that flower buds are well laid next year. Although the plant is not demanding on the soil, it is still desirable that it be sufficiently nutritious and moisturized, and does not have lime impurities.

Wisteria shoots should be tied up as they grow, so that the growth of the plant does not stop, and the ends do not dry out. During flowering, it is necessary to cut off dried parts and shorten young victories. Pruning also helps shape the shrub.
