I could be hysterical due to the cold and rainy weather, but Iād rather look at my pictures of Wisteria, and that makes me happy and hopeful.
This Far Eastern beauty usually begins to bloom in mid-April. It would still be time for blooming, but it is delayed by the cold for 1-2 weeks. The photos were not taken now either, but in 2016. I'm looking forward to it because not only beautiful but also has a wonderful scent.
Wisteria is not native in Hungary, comes from China and is planted as an ornamental plant. It is a large, tree-sized relative of peas. Interestingly, its sprouts always grow in a counterclockwise spiral. Its trunk is not strong enough, so it needs support. A wonderful pergola can be formed with this plant.
If you plant your seed, you have to wait for the first blooming for 15 years. Attention! The plant is poisonous! It may cause nausea, vomiting, stomach pains, and diarrhea Do not allow children to put it in their mouths.
