    Red star i cant have too many flowers that smell strong because im smell sensitive so i have lavender and salvias but not interested in fragrance beyond that to be honest. It would be too over powering fir my body.

    The one i have gone for has lime green leaves so should really pop against a blue pergola

    Like the lime green leaves. I have a mock orange shrub that has lime green leaves, so pretty next to the
    Burgundy wegellia. But the smells do drift (just saying)

    Hiya @Dips :)

    Just wondering, where/in what are you planning on planting the Wisteria? I imagine they can be planted in pots, but would do a lot better in the ground, imo.

    that crossed my mind also Freddy, figured he was doing pots. Kinda limits you to keep the pots in that one position all the time. What if one cracks due to cold weather? Then what? I don't keep soil filled pots out in the winter.

    Ahh, ok. It's just that you didn't mention it in your original post :blue thumb: They're pretty vigorous growers, so preparing the planting hole would probably be beneficial. If it were me, I would make the hole of good size (maybe 2ft round x 1ft deep?) and mix in plenty of organic material with the soil.

    Thats cause i never even considered growing a wisteria in a pot for that pergola.

    And i have already been prepping the soil ready. It was very very sandy so been mixing stuff in to help make it a better mix
