Wisteria Floribunda Black Dragon - 20cm Pot

Wisteria Black Dragon, botanically known as Wisteria floribunda ‘Violacea Plena’, is one of the most decorative and sought-after wisterias in the world. This striking Japanese variety is famous for its masses of richly scented, deep purple, double flowers that hang in dramatic pendant clusters in early spring.

Flowering heavily before most climbers wake up, Black Dragon creates an unforgettable display when trained over pergolas, arbours, fences or balconies. The blooms are dense and luxurious, making this variety a true feature plant in both traditional and contemporary gardens. After flowering, fresh green foliage emerges, providing shade and structure through the warmer months before dropping in winter.

A vigorous, frost-hardy, deciduous climber, Black Dragon twines clockwise and benefits from being trained on strong, permanent structures capable of supporting its mature weight.

Care & Growing Tips
Wisterias can be planted year-round in most soil types, with best results in well-drained yet moisture-retentive soil. Choose a position in full sun for optimal flowering. When planting, gently tease the roots and water in thoroughly. Keep soil evenly moist during flowering. Feed young plants to help establish a strong framework of stems and foliage, then reduce or stop fertilising once established to encourage flowering. Pruning is essential and should be done in spring, with additional summer and winter pruning if needed to control size and improve bloom performance.
