Wisteria is a climbing plant with beautifully scented flowers in shades of white, blue, purple and pink that flowers between April and June. They can climb to heights of nearly 10m and enjoy being in full sun.
Looking to plant your own wisteria? The best times to plant are spring and autumn – although you’ll have to wait three to four years to see floral results.
