Apart from the early appearance of snowdrops – then daffodils – early in the year, there is nothing that makes me feel more that the world is being renewed, re-born than when the wisteria breaks into glorious, fragrant abundance, round about the first week in May.

For Becky’s #SquaresRenew
That is so beautiful, Margaret 🤩

One of my favourite plants – I have one in a pot which has not yet flowered – however fingers crossed it will once it is released into the world in Wiltshire

Let’s hope so. They’re hard to get started, but once they’re off … they’re off!

So do I – I bought it from a garden plant sale when it was quite small so hoping it is just taking its time to settle in. I did have another but that got graft failure. Maybe it is me!

I adore wisteria and, luckily for me, it seems to love this part of the world. Lots to ogle in gardens on my walks.

I absolutely love Wisteria. We had lots in our old garden, none here. Maybe time to see whether we can plant any.

I love wisteria. My mom did too, even though where she lived, in AL, it was invasive and all over the trees. It was such a PRETTY invasive plant!

Invasive? I didn’t know that. It can invade all it likes here!

I don’t know what part of the country you’re in…but in Alabama it grows all over. Soooo pretty though! Prettier than cudzu! 🙂 🙂 🙂

In England, wisteria is strictly confind to house and garden walls, and as far as I know, is not to be found in the wild. I had to look up cudzu and am not much the wiser now!

That’s probably because I spelled it wrong! 🙂 Kudzu is an overwhelming vine that is in the South. https://www.nature.org/en-us/about-us/where-we-work/united-states/indiana/stories-in-indiana/kudzu-invasive-species/?gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwupGyBhBBEiwA0UcqaD-SeDufMaVaIeMcbr7l3jK6lZ4M2xZaauQjx6RmwxdSNcLT3LD2dBoCYnYQAvD_BwE

What a glorious plant! I’m always surprised at the muted shade of green the early leaves have, almost as if they didn’t want to overshadow the flowers.
