Wisteria 'Black Dragon' size and growth habit

Wisteria 'Black Dragon' is a vigorous deciduous climber that can reach 6 to 10 metres in height and spread if left unchecked. It has a twining growth habit, with stems that wrap around supports such as pergolas, fences, or trellises. Over time, it develops a strong woody framework. Regular pruning helps control its size, encourages flowering, and maintains a tidy structure. This variety is well-suited to large spaces, where it can be trained and shaped.

Wisteria 'Black Dragon' growing conditions and care

Wisteria 'Black Dragon' thrives in full sun and prefers fertile, well-drained soil. A sunny location is crucial for ensuring prolific flowering. It benefits from protection from strong winds, especially while establishing. Once settled, it is hardy and tolerant of dry periods; however, deep watering during dry spells helps maintain its vigour. Prune in summer to control growth and in winter to shape and encourage blooms. Support with a sturdy structure and avoid high nitrogen fertilisers.
