Wisteria sinensis Prolific 2 Ltr, 4 canes

Wisteria sinensis ‘Prolific’ is a vigorous, deciduous, twining climber prized for its beautifully scented racemes, typically opening in late spring to early summer. For the most reliable display, plant in sun or light shade in fertile, moist but well-drained soil; it is fully hardy and holds the RHS Award of Garden Merit. This climber requires a suitable support to establish and grow, making it ideal for training along sturdy wires, pergolas or arches. It may take several years to begin flowering, but rewards with abundant, fragrant blossom thereafter. Eventual size is substantial, reaching around 9m in height and about 5m in spread when trained over a support.

This climbing plant has been trained onto a supporting frame to create a neat, well-shaped specimen that is ready for planting. As it grows, new shoots can be guided and secured to continue developing its natural shape.

To help give a clear sense of scale, the stone wall shown in our photos measures approximately 265cm in height. We also use familiar garden tools as visual references: a digging fork (110cm tall) and a hand fork (30cm tall). These are included purely as size guides to help you better judge proportions when viewing the images.
