"Maybe" it is not so in your area. If I were you I'd speak with a local master gardener or your extension agent before planting one. In Williamburg they have a lovely arcade of wisteria that makes me swoon. I personally don't remember it not blooming at first. It's been in our yard for maybe 30 years! Have a great weekend, Dawn! ♥The Joy of Home with Martha Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02912198511168813613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7664100447631245881.post-89420325454486727632015-04-25T11:06:27.529-04:002015-04-25T11:06:27.529-04:00Oh, Martha Ellen!

It looks like your garden is a few weeks ahead of ours. I have always dreamed of growing wisteria, as I linger over beautiful magazine photos of wisteria blossoms hanging near a front porch. I had no idea that it would bring so many challenges to the garden! Many thanks for sharing your experience. Is it true that wisteria grows many years before it blooms for the first time? That thought has kept me from trying to grow wisteria here. I love seeing your fun visit with your grandsons. They are growing up so quickly! Have a wonderful weekend, Martha Ellen! ♡DawnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7664100447631245881.post-19348114504515044252015-04-24T21:16:36.557-04:002015-04-24T21:16:36.557-04:00Cathy, the warm days of last week really made a lo...Cathy, the warm days of last week really made a lot of the plants grow larger.

We planted a vine near our front porch years ago, but quickly realized that it was more than we bargained for and we cut it down. <br /><br />Great pics of your grands having fun!
