White Chinese Wisteria | Wisteria sinensis 'Alba'
The Highlights
- Beautiful trickles of daisy white blooms
- The ultimate plant to train up structures
- Flowers from May to June
- Beautiful green foliage will cover archways, pergolas, and walls
- Woody vines add fantastic natural, rustic charm to any structure
- Flowers are great for supporting local bee populations
- Fully hardy perennial–will flower year after year

Care Guide
Good Pest and Disease Resistance
Wisterias are generally not bothered by pests or disease. Aphids, Scale Insects, Powdery Mildews, and Honey Fungus can affect the plant but the problems are usually not serious.MORE
Water Regularly When Planted
When you first plant your Wisteria you will want to water it regularly, especially during prolonged periods of hot and dry weather. After the first couple of years, however, the plant should establish itself well enough that it will only need to be watered very lightly, if at all.
Full Sun to Partial Shade
You will want to plant somewhere the plant will receive at least 4-6 hours of sunlight everyday during summer and spring. This variety can handled some partial shade where it receives its light as dappled shade.
Any fertile, well drained soil
If your soil is particularly clay heavy and gets waterlogged often, make sure you mix in plenty of organic matter and perhaps even gravel or perlite to help improve drainage.
Feed Every Spring
Every Spring feed with a well-balanced fertiliser such as Growmore or Fish Meal.
