Once scratch and sniff technology is perfected, this may be one “favorite” to visit again and again.
This wisteria is a blue wisteria. It’s fairly simple to grow. As a bare root twig, it was planted in well drained soil. Fertilizing is infrequent and so is irrigation now that it’s established. After it blooms, I prune it back a bit to encourage new growth and blooms. So far, so good.
There’s gravel under the pergola today; but there are plans to install dichondra in a few weeks. This should be a nice cool spot during the hot summer. Wisteria is a nice plant to create shade for the hot days ahead. In the meantime, we’ll enjoy the beautiful perfume.
Is there any wisteria growing on Wisteria Lane? Name that TV show?

It's gotta be Desperate Housewives! I think I've only seen that program a few times, and now I hear it's being discontinued. Oh, and I have serious wisteria envy just looking at your beautiful blooms! Our plant has not bloomed for over ten years, but this year my husband tried pruning it differently so we will see!
Oh how beautiful! I wish I could get mine to bloom. I always hope every spring this will be the year. LOL!Yours is so lovely.
Correctamundo, Dorothy. You have seen the program a few more times than me.
gorgeous pictures as always!
Aren't they amazing, these blossoms? And this scent? It scents the entire air here!
I do no for one moment dismiss the rapacious character of my wisteria, with its strangling vines and its pernicious seeds sprouting everywhere - but in the springtime the beauty is so worth it!
