Extra Large Pink flowering Wisteria with delivered heights in excess of 3 metres.
XL Wisteria Pink Flowering Floribunda Rosea: Wisteria floribunda 'Rosea' is known for its beautiful and delicate pink flowers. These flowers appear in long, hanging racemes that can reach lengths of up to 1 metre. The racemes are composed of numerous individual blooms, each resembling a small pea-like flower.
The foliage of Wisteria floribunda 'Rosea' is lush and green, providing an attractive backdrop for the pink flowers. The leaves are compound, consisting of multiple leaflets arranged in an alternating pattern along the stem.
Like other varieties of Wisteria floribunda, 'Rosea' is a fast-growing vine that can cover pergolas and walls with its twining stems. It requires a sturdy support structure to grow on and can reach impressive lengths if left unpruned.
It's important to note that Wisteria floribunda 'Rosea' is a deciduous plant, meaning it loses its leaves in the winter months. During this time, the woody structure of the vine is still visible and adds architectural interest to the garden.
When growing Wisteria floribunda 'Rosea', it's important to provide proper support, regular pruning, and maintenance to keep it in check.

Soil: It will grow in most soils that are moist and well drained. Prepare the ground well by digging in manure or soil improver, especially if planting next to a wall as the area may contain rubble therefore very dry. We would also recommend a bonemeal when planting as this will encourage the roots.
Soil ph: Acid, Neutral and Alkaline.
Suitable for Container planting: It can be trained to be a free standing half standard. It will need regular feeding for the best results.
Eventual height and spread: The ultimate height will be 4-8 metres with a spread of 2.5-4 metres
Pruning: The Wisteria can be pruned back after flowering although this may not be necessary every year. They can have the old and weak growth removed when necessary. It should have the current years growth pruned back to 3 or 4 buds in July or August to promote future growth, although this is not necessary if you are increasing the overall size. Maintain the overall structure to encourage the horizontal growth. Further pruning can take place again in February.
