Wisteria 'Snow Showers' (White Wisteria)

Wisteria 'Snow Showers' size and growth habit

Wisteria 'Snow Showers' is a vigorous deciduous climber that can grow 6 to 10 metres tall and wide when supported. It features a twining growth habit, with stems that wrap around pergolas, trellises, or wires to form a dense canopy of foliage and blooms. Over time, it develops a strong woody framework. Regular pruning helps manage its size, encourages flowering, and maintains a tidy shape.

Wisteria 'Snow Showers' growing conditions and care

Wisteria 'Snow Showers' thrives in full sun and prefers fertile, well-drained soil. A sunny, sheltered position is crucial for prolific flowering. Once established, it is hardy and tolerates dry periods, though deep watering during extended dry spells is beneficial. Prune in summer to manage vigorous growth and again in winter to shape and encourage flower production. Provide a sturdy support structure and avoid high nitrogen fertilisers, which can reduce flowering in favour of leafy growth.
