Formative Training Wisteria
in Plants
Hello All,
I've recently bought a wisteria ' Amythest Falls' from my local garden centre. Supposedly smaller and less vigorous than chinese wisteria apparently and as you can see from the pictures she's about three feet high,flowering lovely and seems to be happy enough in the large pot bought for her. I'm keen to unwind the plant from the little trellis it came wound around but don't really know where to start. My plan is to attach a strong trellis to the wall and run it vertically to about 8 ft. whereby it can hopefully be trained along a wooden beam running the length of the side of the house. Any hints on achieving this would be great and also should I wait till the flowers have done their thing or crack on right away. Thanks.

Might be worth seeing if you can remove some of the tarmac to plant the wisteria and roses in the ground. It's often not that thick a layer but it depends what's underneath - horrendous rubble or some good soil?
