The listing, *~*~*~3 Purple Chinese Wisteria Vine/Tree/Shrub Seeds~*~*~*NEW PICTURES!!~*~*~* has ended.

Wisteria is a member of the Pea family. Chinese wisteria is a popular plant due to its flowering habit. It grows to a height of 25 feet or more and has flower clusters six inches to a foot in length, which open before the foliage has expanded. Individual flowers in the clusters open all at once for a very showy display. Plants are most showy from early to mid-May in most seasons. Very fragrant! Wisterias climb best on wires, trellises, arbors and pergolas. They can be grown on solid, vertical surfaces if proper supports are provided, such as rows of wire attached four to six inches from the wall.
Wisteria can also be grown as a single trunk standard or a tree-form. To accomplish this, the plant must be staked in an upright position. When it has reached four to five feet in height its top is cut off. Side shoots are allowed to develop on the upper part, but are continually removed from the lower stem. Side shoots are pruned each winter to six inches to a foot in length until the top is as large as desired. Future pruning consists of cutting summer shoots to the sixth or seventh leaf as soon as it expands and of cutting off secondary shoots that develop just beyond the first or second leaf. In winter, these secondary shoots are cut back to within an inch of their base. Pruning will help reduce the vigor of the vine and promote flowering.
Chinese Wisteria is considered to be an invasive species in some areas. To keep it from winding around other trees and plants, consider planting it away from other trees and plants. Lots of pruning seems to be beneficial, not only for invasiveness, but to promote more flowers from the cut shoots. However, if there is a tree stump in your yard you want covered up, this would be a great thing for the vine to climb on!
This also another plant that does well for bonsai growers!
