Because Wisteria takes several years to bloom from a young plant, it is important to start with a mature plant. This native plant is related to the more common Chinese wisteria, but is much superior if you live in a cooler area. The Blue Moon Wisteria is a true American Queen, growing naturally in the southern states and growing naturally as far north as Illinois. This vine will bloom even with winter temperatures of minus 40 degrees, and it is less aggressive, so it is easier to train. Regular wisteria vines are not particularly hardy, and can be difficult to train because they are such rampant growers, but one, the Blue Moon Wisteria, is a gift to growers in cold areas. Wisteria is undoubtedly the ‘Queen of Vines’, and a well-grown plant in full-bloom is a sight not easily forgotten. Since young plants take several years to bloom it is important to plant a more mature specimen, to get blooms more quickly. Pruning is necessary to control the growth and keep your plant looking beautiful. It will grow in any well-drained garden soil and once established it has some drought-resistance but it should be watered well during hot, dry spells.
