Wisteria has beautiful and impressive flowers. But only if the location is chosen correctly. Read here how to find the right place and what you absolutely have to consider.
The wisteria, also known as wisteria or wisteria, impresses with its flowing abundance of purple-blue flowers in summer. It takes a few years for the first flowering. But if the place where the climbing plant is to gain a foothold is well chosen, then you won't have to wait too long for its colorful splendor. Planting the Wisteria creates an important basis for the plant to thrive as best as possible.
Planting wisteria - choose a good location
If you want to green the facade of your house with wisteria, you should consider that the climbing plant belongs to the so-called "stranglers". Their shoots wrap around rainwater pipes and press them in over time. Hobby gardeners either choose a different location for their climbing plants or protect the downpipes on the house, for example by attaching stable screens between the downpipe and the house wall. These prevent climbing shoots from wrapping themselves around the pipes.

How do I plant wisteria?
The young climbing plant is placed in a planting hole with loose soil and watered well. The plant should then be piled up with soil, which promotes its drive.
Another tip: Heavy soils become more permeable if they are enriched with sand. Sandy soil is treated with humus or compost for planting.
