Good Grief! No wonder I haven't had any blooms! I had no idea that it could take as long as 10 years to bloom. I bought my plant at Home Depot.....probably 7or 8 years ago & it has NEVER bloomed. Guess that means I might see results in a couple more years? LOL Good thing it is growing up my mesquite tree & at least provides some nice foliage or it would have been gone long ago.

I think that buying wisterias that are acclimated to your are is a good bet. Down here there is a Texas variety that is less invasive and very florid. Avery Island variety is a variety from Louisiana that is beautiful. A trick that many professional gardeners do that design installments in parks do is they combine different varieties that bloom at different times to extend the bloom time.

I live in TX & bought my plant at Ft. Worth. It has been so many years ago that I can't remember what the name of the one I bought was?????? Angie, I know what you mean bout being able to get out of the rocker to see it bloom. LOL After all this time, I wonder if mine will ever bloom.

I have put off buying these because I had them at my old house and nothing ever happened. I found this site very helpful and will probably get one again since I have more info.
