Wisteria
sinensis blue * Chinese Wisteria |
| People are drawn to both the
blue flowers and the scent of Wisteria sinensis.
The plants are a little messy, so I try to keep them back from places that I want to keep
clean. Both flowers and leaves fall in abundance. The roots can lift
and buckle flagstone patios if they are not laid well. I prefer to
use Decomposed Granite or gravel under the vines. It is easier to
keep the area level over the long haul. Wisteria sinensis vines are incredibly malleable and
can be trained into almost any shape. They can also get quite large. There is
a Wisteria in Sierra Madre that covered most of a city block at one time. I think the most
common error with this plant is to undersize the trellis. It is most challenging to
put a new trellis under a slumping vine that weighs hundreds if not thousands of pounds.
After an argument with my mother I looked it up in the dictionary and
Wistaria is also a correct spelling, even if not as frequently used, she
was right.
