Wisteria ‘Lawrence’
€75.00
Description
If you’re dreaming of a wisteria that feels classic and generous — the kind that turns a pergola or sunny wall into a spring event — Wisteria ‘Lawrence’ is a beautiful choice. In late spring it produces cascading racemes of lilac-purple flowers, often lightly scented, creating that soft, romantic curtain of bloom that makes you stop and look twice.
Wisteria is a long-term plant: it settles in, strengthens year by year, and becomes more impressive with age. Give it sun, sturdy support, and a simple pruning routine, and it will reward you for decades.

Caragh Garden Notebook
Wisteria is one of those plants that brings a sense of occasion. You wait through winter, you watch the buds swell, and then suddenly it’s in flower — draping and cascading, with that gentle scent that makes the whole garden feel softer.
‘Lawrence’ is perfect trained where you’ll walk beneath it: over a pergola, along an arch, or framing a sunny doorway. It’s not a plant for instant results — it’s a plant for the long game — and once it finds its rhythm, it becomes part of the garden’s story.
Caragh tip: Prune twice a year for best flowering — a summer trim to keep it tidy and encourage flower buds, and a winter prune to shape and strengthen the flowering spurs.
