Growing Domino Wisteria

It prefers sun but will thrive in dappled shade, and is best planted where the fragrance can be appreciated.

It needs the solid support of a pergola, pillar or a wall with vines eyes and wires set at 12" distances. It can also be grown more formally as a half-standard in a tub with a frame. It can look spectacular grown into mature trees when it will need very little maintenance save keeping its vigour in check.

History and Trivia

There is a 150-year-old specimen in Ashikaga Flower Park near Tokyo that rests on 600 metres of trellis. It has also been sold as Prematura, in reference to its precocious flowering: the Japanese name Issai means 'year old' or 'age one'.
