Wisteria ‘Eranthema’
€75.00
Description
For rich colour and real spring drama, Wisteria ‘Eranthema’ is a showstopper. It produces long, cascading racemes of deep violet-purple flowers that spill from pergolas, arches and sunny walls, often with a gentle fragrance that stops you in your tracks as you pass.
Wisteria is a plant you grow for the long game — it settles in, strengthens year by year, and becomes more spectacular with age. Give it sun, sturdy support, and a simple pruning routine, and it will reward you with one of the most memorable flowering moments in the garden.

Caragh Garden Notebook
Wisteria is pure anticipation. You watch the buds swell, you wait for that first hint of colour — and then suddenly it’s cascading, dramatic, and completely unforgettable.
‘Eranthema’ is one we love for depth: that saturated purple looks incredible against pale stone, brick, or fresh spring greens, and it brings instant atmosphere to an entrance or seating area. Train it where you’ll walk underneath it — you’ll get the full experience when it’s in bloom.
Caragh tip: Don’t be afraid of pruning — it’s the key to flowers. A summer trim keeps it tidy and directs energy, and a winter prune helps form the flowering spurs for next spring.
