They are so pretty.
I had the vine and it took 10 years before it bloomed.

Love the wisteria. They are beautiful when in bloom and that is one full tree. Thanks

Yikes! I have had one for 8 years now and I anxiously wait each spring to see if it will bloom. Nothing again this year

:-( It is very big and way up a tree but no blooms. I know they take a long time to bloom but 10 years?! These were taken along a roadside.

i lived in Wisconsin at the time, and it would send out runners 25-30 ft long. Can't have runners all over the lawn, so i cut them back and made the vine wreaths from them .. Load and behold on the 10year after having giving up on it ever blooming, there it put forth 3,10-12 inch blooms.
and each year as it grew larger - more blooms would appear.
I left Wisconsin in 04, and i truly hope the party that bought my house, knew what it was. Another keeper was the Mock Orange. That smelled so sweet.

How old is this vine Hal81. I understand it takes them at least 7 years to bloom. I have a huge one that is about 8 years old and not a bloom in site. The pictures I took I got from the road side.

Take all of your old coffee grounds and start to pour them out at the base of the roots. then work them into the soil.
i did this with the mock orange, rhoddies and also the Wisteria plant.
