Cooke's Purple&trade' Wisteria Vine

Do you ever wish that your landscape can look stunning all growing season long? Rely on the Cooke's Purple™ Wisteria (Wisteria sinensis 'Cooke's Purple')! You and your pollinators will be so impressed with this plant. Cooke's Purple™ will rebloom through the season for you!

Cooke's Purple™ is a fast-growing, deciduous vine that features huge, drooping lavender and purple flowers! Unlike any other Wisteria, the blooms liberally drip from the plant for 5 months during the growing season! The racemes hang from this twining vine liberally.

The spring flower racemes are up to 18 inches long. They appear before the leaves do, so the display is phenomenal. It just doesn't get better than watching the sophisticated flowering display that lasts from April to September.

In the summertime, you'll be treated to a rebloom! Snip some for outstanding summer bouquets or watch as hummingbirds flit from blossom to blossom!

People tell us that Cooke's Purple™ Wisteria blooms younger than other varieties. A chance seedling, this Chinese Wisteria cultivar is hardy and adaptable. Cooke's Purple™ handles heat and chill throughout USDA planting zones 5-9 with ease! You've got to get your hands on this variety from the expert growers at Nature Hills today!

Landscape Application:

Wisteria is a surprisingly versatile flowering vine! Grow yours on a sturdy structure, such as a pergola, arbor, or gazebo. You'll gain not only beautiful vertical displays but screening and shade too!

These twining vines might need some help from you as they grow. Guiding their tendrils is one of the simple joys of gardening!

Cooke's Purple™ is an easy-care plant that can quickly cover chain-link fences, rock walls, or eyesores! Hide old TV towers, HVAC units, and those nosy neighbors. Make everything look a lot better with the help of this gorgeous plant.

Allow it to scramble down treacherous slopes. Plant 20 feet apart to quickly cover the ground for you. This is far safer than trying to mow turf on hard-to-mow hillsides. Use it to cover rock piles, or plant it at the top of retaining walls and let it become a tremendously dramatic accent!

For a more hands-on project, consider training Cooke's Purple Wisteria as a single-stem tree form on a sturdy stake. How proud you'll be to create a beautiful tree with some light pruning a few times each year to maintain it that way.

Another tried-and-true approach is to install an Espalier fencing system. This way, it can be grown near brick walls and other structures!

Pot up your flowering vine in a large planter with an obelisk, or in a large container garden on your balcony where the pendulous blooms can drape themselves over the railing.

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Wisterias flower best in full sun, so ensure it receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight a day. Anything less and your Wisteria will struggle to bloom.

During your plant's first season in the ground, water carefully and consistently to help the roots establish themselves in the soil. After that, provide water regularly as needed, especially in times of drought. You'll want to keep your beautiful plant stress-free, after all!

Cooke's Purple™ Wisteria does best in well-drained soil and is widely adaptable! If you grow it near the lawn, be sure to keep lawn fertilizer away from the Wisteria. After all, a formula for lawns is high in nitrogen, and that will reduce the flowering.

Pruning Wisteria Vines

Wisteria can grow fast and bloom on new wood. Established plants may grow 10 feet or more in a single year. You can certainly keep it much smaller with bi-yearly pruning.

Get the best flowering display with pruning before growth begins in late winter or very early spring. Remove dead or broken branches at this time. For size control, count four buds up along last year's growth, and trim your vine just above the fourth bud, removing excess side shoots.

Prune again just after the first round of spring blooms have faded. This deadheading will sometimes encourage a second, smaller flush of flowers on some varieties.

Invest in a sharp pair of garden shears to get the best performance from your Wisteria. Pruning is necessary for growing gorgeous Wisterias ... read more in the #ProPlantTips Garden Blog.

Wisteria FAQ

How invasive is Wisteria?

Chinese Wisteria and Japanese Wisteria are vigorous growers, so unmanaged vines can overtake an area, and they have surface runners that root when touching the ground.

How long does it take for a Wisteria to bloom?

Wisteria species should bloom 3 to 4 years after being established. A Wisteria can be slow to bloom when exposed to less sun or exposed to high-nitrogen fertilizer.
