The Blue Moon Wisteria is a stunning climbing plant that has amazing lavender flowers in spring, with almost 100 flowers clustered in huge, foot-long hanging racemes. A plant in full-bloom is a remarkable garden feature. Unlike other kinds of wisteria, this plant is very hardy and will bloom even in the coldest states – in fact it usually blooms again in summer and often also in early fall, making it far superior to regular wisteria. It makes a large vine up to 25 feet long, so it should be grown on a strong pergola or arbor of a suitable size. The dark-green foliage is almost ferny in appearance and it makes an attractive plant, even when not blooming.
Plant the Blue Moon Wisteria in full sun at the foot of a sturdy structure for it to climb, or at the base of a tree. 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. Pruning is necessary to control the growth and keep your plant looking beautiful. Since young plants take several years to bloom it is important to plant a more mature specimen, to get blooms more quickly.
