Hi,
I am a bit concerned that my wisteria has not flowered yet again!!! It
is about 4 years old and is facing north east. we live in Victoria. I'm
hoping that someone will have and answer to my problem! Cheers!


have you been feeding it. if it is nice and healthy try and flower inducing
fertiliser like bloom buster. wisteria sometimes needs coaxing, but is only
4 years old so maybe just patience is the key.

My wisteria took about six years before I got decent flowers on it. Mind
you, I was quite prepared for this, as I'd been pruning it pretty
heftily in order to get it in shape before the flowers arrived! LOL! If
you're pruning it, be aware that you're probably cutting off the fresh
growth from which flowers will come.

Is it a white or pink one? If so, those two take longer to flower than the
blue/mauve ones.

saw a lady on Bourkes Backyard with the same problem, wisteria not
flowering. The solution was that she had roses in front of it that she
fertilized and too many nutrients stopped the wisteria from developing
flowers.

I bought a wisteria flowering very nicely in the put, planted it, and it
sulked for the next two years. Sold the house to a friend, and she is reaping
the benefits of my purchase.

I'm not bitter...

Thanks for your reply, perhaps I do need more patience, and I might try
some fertilizer as its had none! Although I hasten to add that it is
really robust in the leaf and shoot department!

You really need to prune to keep it taking over the world!

Thanks for your reply, its a blue one. Is there a non flowering variety?

No roses and no extra fertlizer I'm afraid. Thanks for your response though!
