Wisteria Tree Lawrence – Standard Tree

£240.00

This stunning wisteria tree brings the beauty of cascading purple blooms to even smaller gardens. Wisteria floribunda ‘Lawrence’ trained as a 2-meter standard offers all the drama of traditional wisteria in a manageable form.

Why Choose a Wisteria Tree Standard?

Our grafted standard provides the spectacular flowering display you want without the vigorous growth that can overwhelm buildings. This form keeps the plant compact while delivering masses of fragrant purple flowers each May and June.

• Controlled growth – No risk of damage to buildings
• Space-saving – Perfect for smaller Belfast gardens
• Guaranteed flowering – Grafted for reliable blooms
• Stunning display – 30cm flower racemes in purple-blue
• Long-lived – Can flower for 50+ years with care

Growing Your Wisteria Tree Successfully

This Lawrence variety thrives in Northern Ireland when given a sunny, sheltered spot. Plant against a warm south or west-facing wall for best flowering. The standard form makes it ideal for patios, courtyards, or as a specimen lawn feature.

Unlike seed-grown plants that can take 20 years to flower, our grafted wisteria trees bloom within 2-3 years. The ‘Lawrence’ variety is particularly free-flowering with slightly shorter racemes that show better on the compact standard form.

Wisteria Tree Care & Pruning

Standard forms need regular pruning to maintain shape and encourage flowering:

• Summer prune (July): Cut back new growth to 5-6 leaves
• Winter prune (February): Reduce shoots to 2-3 buds
• Remove any shoots from the trunk immediately
• Feed with high-potash fertilizer in spring

For detailed pruning guidance, see the RHS wisteria pruning guide.

Container Growing Option

Wisteria trees excel in large containers (minimum 60cm diameter). Use loam-based compost and ensure excellent drainage. This allows you to position your specimen perfectly for viewing and move it if needed. Water regularly during growth and flowering.
