After 12 years .......

......... my Chinese Wisteria has finally agreed to produce flowers

 

Yee-ha! It'll probably have to have a little rest for a few years now. No point in overdoing it. :rotfl:

 

Glad you've finally had success.


We've three that flower well, one over forty years old, another about 25 years old. But two others have never flowered. These were purchased a few years ago as "pink" varieties. Neither had flowers when we bought them. One we gave up on but the other we've left, it's about eight years old now, growing well, but producing no flowers.
A flowering blue one purchased about five years ago has produced flowers every year. I would only now recommend purchasing one which was actually in bloom.

The "heartbreaker" was this twenty-year-old white one, which was a prolific bloomer. The year before last it looked like this, but I was a little concerned as it was producing no new growth, as it and the others always did. Then inexplicably over the winter of 2008/2009 it died. Just shows you can't get everything right, can you?

 

and very lovely they are too...! :-) congrats...
