- Light: Thrives in full sun; at least 6 hours of direct light ensures optimal flowering.
- Soil: Prefers moist, well-draining soil enriched with organic matter. Adapts to a variety of soil types, including clay and sandy soils.
- Watering: Water regularly, especially during dry spells and the first few growing seasons. Once established, it’s moderately drought-tolerant.
- Maintenance: Prune lightly after flowering to shape and encourage reblooming. Winter pruning helps maintain structure and reduce excessive growth.
- Hardiness: Hardy to USDA zones 5-9, making it a reliable choice for a range of climates.
- Additional Tips: Unlike Chinese and Japanese wisteria, this variety doesn’t strangle nearby trees or structures. Train it early on a sturdy arbor or trellis, and enjoy its blooms without the aggressive spread.
