July 17, 2015Q.wisteria vine blooms
I have a wisteria vine that is about 5 or 6 yrs old. Although it is full and luscious, it does not get any of the purple blooms. Why is that? Thanks for your time!

July 18, 2015A.I would guess that the nitrogen to phosphorus ratio is off. The soil may have an abundance of nitrogen, which would result in nice, healthy green growth but little to no blooms. Without the right amount of phosphorus, it will not bloom well. Bone meal is a great way to add phosphorus. This article will also help:

July 18, 2015Q.Wisteria
Just printed off "How to Propagate a Wisteria," but how do you get a really OLD wisteria plant to produce more blooms? This plant is in bush form in an old home place and would like to see it bloom more and to have a piece of it for my own yard. Thanks.

July 19, 2015A.I would consider root pruning it. This will limit its ability to take up nitrogen, which will slow the growth and should get it to bloom more.
These articles will help with both current pruning and getting it to bloom:

July 22, 2015Q.New Wisteria Plant Struggling
I bought a Wisteria plant, approx 3 ft tall, from a garden centre at 1/2 price about three weeks ago. I dug a hole about the size of a bucket to allow for plenty of compost to give it a start in my heavy clay soil. Three weeks on and it doesn't look like it is going anywhere, plus the leaves are looking a little yellow around the edges. I'm worried that it might be dying. Do you have any advice?

July 22, 2015A.It does sound like it may have a touch of transplant shock. This article will help with that:
https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/environmental/learn-how-to-avoid-and-repair-transplant-shock-in-plants.htmAlso, be aware that when it comes to wisteria, they normally need a few years to settle into their new home. Trust me though, in 3 years, it will be growing faster than you can trim it.

July 22, 2015Q.no flowers in 4 years
I hope this is a picture of my wisteria falls. It keeps growing but no flowers in 4 years. I have put bone meal in roots, I have cut roots out 2 feet from the plant with shovels, I have not trimmed the growths in winter. Should I trim some of the growths that are just bunching up together? I am just about to give up on this plant.

July 22, 2015A.Ok, if its growing environment is good (and it certainly looks healthy), this can be crossed off the list assuming that it receives plenty of sunlight. You have given it phosphorus, so this too can be knocked off the list. Pruning shouldn't be a problem either, so that leaves its age as a possible factor for non-blooming. If grown from seed or cutting, it simply may not be old enough yet for flowering. Typically, wisteria plants do not reach maturity until 7-15 years.

July 22, 2015Q.Wisteria
I have a wisteria vine that is about 3 years old. My problem is that it has never bloomed, so what am I doing wrong? Plus, it stands about 8' tall.

July 23, 2015A.Patience is the diagnosis. Wisteria can take 7 to 15 years to bloom.

We have a few wisteria plants in our garden. I have planted some runner beans close by. Will these still be ok to eat? The beans are actually growing up the same trellis.

July 27, 2015A.Due to the toxicity of Wisteria I would not suggest eating the Runner Beans.
I would certainly lean of the cautious side.Was this answer useful?00 - Asked by
