I'm currently growing about 50 seedling from a large trellis nearby, just south of Minneapolis. The plants covering the trellis have survived -30F temps in the past 5 years

It's also non-invasive, unlike the Asian species. I'm also planning on growing some as tree forms!

I don't see why you can't grow wisteria in Colorado. usonian Apr 2022 #2

Maybe so! I always thought they needed major humidity, though. Maybe I'll try it hlthe2b Apr 2022 #3

I have never heard of anyone watering a wisteria unless it's a tree in a container. usonian Apr 2022 #5
