Good for you. You'll love it.
I sat out front and just inhaled all afternoon.
Cars slow as they drive by. They must be inhaling too.

Oh my, Sharon, I did not know that you had woven them into trees! So fantastic! I think I may have told you earlier that I have a wisteria here that I bought the first year we lived here full time, so 3 years ago. I planted it in a pot with the idea of overwintering indoors, but that has never happened, and by now I rather suspect that it's roots have made their way through the drainage hole and into the (very rocky) ground below, at least I hope so. It was blooming when I bought it (I have read to only buy one that is in bloom, as otherwise it might be a "non-bloomer"). I didn't get any blooms last year, but I hope it blooms this year. Do you prune yours at all?

Also another quick and funny wisteria story... when Tony and I lived in Arizona, in his house there, I was longing for a wisteria. Then one day I walked out the back door and noticed that this viney thing that I had walked by a gazillion times before had a purple bloom on it... a closer look led me to discover that I HAD a wisteria. A little TLC and it was very happy and bloomful!

Sure I prune, Brenda, but only the tendrils as they grow. They are rapid growers, you can almost see them reaching out for the next thing in their path. So I prune, but it isn't exactly pruning. They are horizontal growers, so luckily I don't have to climb ladders to get to the top. But I cut the vines just like any other vining plant. They don't branch, unless you prune them back to the woody stem.

You might have ground runners too, but those are wound around the trunks to help add more support.

If I were you, I'd get some good soil, crack or cut away the container of the one you think is in the ground, then add the soil in a little mound and just let it grow. It will need a stake of some sort, though.

Well, I'm going to check it out soon, Sharon. I will lift the pot ever so gently to see what is happening. If it is growing into the ground I may take your advice, but it is in a lovely large ceramic pot which will be a shame to bust up. Nonetheless, if it makes the wisteria happier in the long run, probably worth it. Now I am hoping that my grapevines made it through their first winter. Too soon to tell, but I did get them from our awesome local nursery and they are Niagara grapes... so if they can live in my old home town in Western New York, you would think they could grow here. Anyway, I digress... but I am still hoping for lovely wisteria blooms this year!

Oops. Never break a ceramic pot. I was thinking terra cotta or plastic; heaven forbid you break beautiful ceramic.

Might have to, but we'll see...

W. NY has something we don't have here.. Water! LOL!! I miss water.. when I lived in NNY, I could see Lake Ontario from my kitchen window & went to the St. Lawrence River every day (had to, part of my job)

Toni,
You want to try a sprig of this wisteria out there where you are??

It's used to water, though, it's planted downhill from a natural underground spring. I never have to water either of them; never in all these years.

Sharon - I would love to try it! I know that it does grow here. I have seen people with Wisteria & all the big boxes AND LGS sell it, but seeing one with blooms is very rare & they ALWAYS go super quick! I promise I would do my darnedest not to kill it!

Lemme know! *happy dance*

T mail your address to me.
I just sent one to Iceland, so surely Denver wouldn't be a difficult trip for another one.

I started a few last fall and they have all come back, fully leafed.
Those are the ones I'm sending. Should be fine.
