Southlake landscapes featuring majestic Wisteria vines offer an element of mystic

by Kimberly Bird

The climbing, twisted, intertwined coarse vines of Wisteria burst with majestic clusters of lavishly fragrant purplish flowers in the Spring making the plant a sought-after focal point in public gardens.  Wisteria adds form to the garden with a meandering yet trainable growth habit that showcases one of the rarest colors found in the garden – blue to purple hues.  

The distinctive appearance and rare fragrance of Wisteria makes it unique.  Wisteria vines rarely go unnoticed.  They draw visitors in and evoke an emotion of relaxation with their flowing growth habit.  The presence of a Wisteria vine offers an interesting mystic to a garden.  In fact, the popular television show Desperate House Wives takes place on Wisteria Lane.

Because Wisteria is a plant that draws attention, it’s often used to accent special places.  Wisteria can be used to create shade, screening or as a tree when trained properly.  The beautifully and carefully designed facades of Southlake homes make Wisteria a perfect landscape vine for the area.  Wisteria grows quickly, is heat tolerant and once established is a robust plant for North Texas.  While all Wisteria offers appeal, two varieties that perform well in Southlake gardens include:

‘Texas Purple’ Japanese Wisteria from Monrovia growers.  The deciduous vine blooms early and works wonderfully on an arbor, trellis or fence to showcase the pendulous flower clusters.

‘Lavender Falls’ Wisteria puts on the spring show of 20-inch long clusters of lavender-blue flowers. The show continues — repeating blooms every month of the season.

Both these varieties of Wisteria require support and will romantically cover a freestanding pergola, arbor or trellis.  These Wisteria plants should be regularly watered during the first growing season to establish deep root systems.  The plants bloom and grow best when fertilized and should be pruned annually in the Winter to control size.
