Wisteria macr. ‘Blue Moon’

Are you searching for a magnificent, fragrant specimen to transform a sunny wall or pergola in your UK garden? Consider the Wisteria macrophylla ‘Blue Moon’, renowned for its showy, fragrant, cascading blue-lilac flower racemes that appear throughout June, July, and August. This variety offers beautiful summer interest, followed by attractive yellow foliage in autumn, providing welcome seasonal colour before the woody structure becomes apparent.

This is a vigorous, twining, woody climber that naturally develops a rambling and spreading form, meaning it needs substantial support to display its best shape. While it does produce sparse green to brown bean-like pods in the autumn, these are largely ornamental and should not be consumed. This plant is highly attractive to bees and other pollinators when it is in full bloom, adding life to your summer borders.

For optimal performance and flowering, this Wisteria thrives best when situated in full sun, requiring placement where it receives plenty of light, and it prefers moist, well-drained, slightly acidic to neutral soils commonly found across the UK, so be sure to avoid dry shade areas. It is ideal for training over sturdy pergolas, arbors, or large fencing, making it a perfect choice for creating vertical interest or defining outdoor spaces with its stunning summer display.
