Wisteria 'Blue Moon'

Wisteria macrostachya 'Blue Moon'

Blue Moon is a cold-hardy variety of Kentucky Wisteria with lavender-blue flowers in late spring/early summer, with a possible rebloom in late summer/early fall. Like all Wisterias, it requires a strong support system to grow on and regular pruning. Kentucky Wisteria is generally less aggressive than other varieties. 

Wisteria grows best in full sun with slightly acidic, fertile, well-draining soil. They like moisture, but will not tolerate standing water. 

Seasonal Availability: Typically May to August, depending on suppliers availability.

Characteristics

Size: 15'-25' tall, 4'-8' wide

Bee-Friendly and Butterfly-Friendly

Care

Full sun outdoors (6-8+ hours of direct sun)

Water every 1-3 days for first year until established (based on outdoor temperature & plant's water consumption).

Increase watering in the heat of summer and watch for wilting or browning as signs to increase watering frequency.

Wisteria should be pruned twice a year. After flowering any small green shoots of the current years growth should be cut back to 5-6 leaves. This will help control the size of the Wisteria and help promote the production of flower buds. In the late winter/early spring when the vine is dormant, cut back any excess growth to the trunk and shorten runners down to 2-3 buds per stem.
