A Houston favorite, this vine thrives in our intense summer heat and humidity. Unlike standard wisteria, it is well-behaved and retains its glossy foliage in mild winters. It performs well in various soil types, but in areas with heavy clay, adding organic matter or planting in slightly raised beds is recommended to prevent "wet feet."
Exposure
Full Sun to Partial Shade
Height x Width
10-15 ft. Tall x 3-6 ft. Wide
Water
Medium; drought tolerant once established but prefers consistent moisture.
Zones
8 - 10
Fertilization
Apply a balanced slow-release fertilizer in early spring before new growth appears.
Pruning
Prune after summer flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth.
