Pergola Wisteria Flowering

The Wisteria was planted to grow up and over the house patio pergolas, replacing a pair of rust-prone New Dawn roses. It's a delicate pale purple shade when in flower - but what a beautiful fragrance!

I'm a Wisteria novice, and sitting underneath in spring is even more joyous than I'd imagined. I just didn't know that the flowers were so beautifully perfumed.

Every Season Covered

Of course the green leaves form a great canopy for summer on the patio, and the golden autumn colours seem to last and last. Then they're so well-behaved, all seeming to fall down at once! This is convenient for the sweeper of the house patio (me). The winter sun can easily reach the house through the bare twisty branches. That's every season covered!

Oops. We won't talk about correct pruning...
