Description
- When it comes to wisteria, few varieties are as impressive or extravagant as ‘Multijuga’. Known for its bicolour flower racemes, which measure up to 1m long – seriously – this cultivar is the very definition of showstopping.
- Flowering from May to June, the pea-like flowers comprise both dark and pale purple hues, and contrast wonderfully with the lush green foliage unfurling alongside it. Add to that the sweet floral fragrance of the blooms and you’re onto a real winner.
- Vigorous in nature, ‘Multijuga’ is perfect for bedecking a feature wall or wreathing a sturdy pergola. Also popular with bees and butterflies, there’s really no reason not to have one of these plants in your garden if you have the space (this variety typically grows to a height of between six and eight metres).
- This wisteria doesn’t just offer spring and summer interest, either. Before the leaves fall in autumn, they take on golden and chartreuse hues, before leaving behind the architectural woody vines, which provide structural interest throughout the winter.
- Fully hardy, this wisteria will be able to withstand whatever the British weather can throw at it. Bear in mind that you will need to prune your wisteria to keep it in tip-top shape. Don’t worry, though, we’ve written a comprehensive guide covering this topic.

How to grow
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.
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. ?v=1613300718

Best plants you will ever get online
I have ordered plants from them twice this year. They arrived well packaged, on time and looked strong and healthy. I feel the staff from Roots plants deal with their plants and customers with passion and care. I can’t wait to order again, price is good as well.
Highly recommended all round
Delivered quickly, perfectly packaged and the tree was in excellent condition. Really healthy and taken to the garden with no problems. Can't recommend highly enough. 5 stars isn't enough!
Satisfied customer
Unlike other online sellers, this company are well ahead in the quality stakes. My plant arrived promptly as per their promise and the plant was much more established and healthy than I had expected. It’s the second time I have ordered from them and I have faith in their promise. Excellent service.
A really good quality tree
A really good quality tree, delivered on time and very well packaged. But the emailed planting advice and supporting information was what really impressed me. Thoroughly recommended.
Exceptional quality
The quality of the plants was exceptional, unlike ones I have had before from local garden centres. Thank you so much. I will definitely be using you again.
Marvellous!
Marvellous service, great plants and fast delivery. Very useful information on how to care for the plants I bought. Easy to use website that makes it far too easy to overindulge in fabulous plants 😂🌱
