Mine was: If SWMBO would leave the secateurs alone, we might have a wisteria like that one day. When are wisteria supposed to flower? We have one that flowered at the beginning of June and another that is in flower now. May/June is right but they sometimes have a second and lighter flowering later in the year. -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon www.helpforheroes.org.uk |

It usually does go twice. That is an admirable wisteria in the article! -E -- Gardening in Lower Normandy |

We have one that flowered at the beginning of June and another that is in flower now. May/June is right but they sometimes have a second and lighter flowering later in the year. Both are first flowerings. The one that is in flower now flowered in May June last year. Perhaps it didn't flower earlier because of the cold spring, or perhaps any buds were hit by a frost? But August isn't the usual time for Wisteria to flower for the first time. I know little about them but I understand some native American Wisterias can bloom sporadically throughout the summer and into September. Might you have one of those if they were imported to some Dutch nurseries? -- Sacha South Devon |
