Member's Mark Wisteria & Hydrangea - Wisteria Purple & Hydrangea Peegee Pink Plants

Wisteria is considered a cross between a shrub and a vine, blooming vigorously in spring with showy, cascading flower clusters that produces beautiful color. Member's Mark™ Wisteria & Hydrangea provides the drapery, vining slipcover look to camouflage a view or provide shade over a porch or pergola. It can live a long, healthy life with no pruning at all depending on the look you seek. It happily twines, climbs, and sprawls over everything and anything in its path. A sturdy support is recommended. It is drought tolerant and easy to grow by anyone - green thumb or not! Hydrangeas are one of the most popular flowering shrubs available. 

There are several different types of hydrangeas that produce different foliage and bloom shapes. The most common are: Mopheads and Lacecaps (macrophylla) - produce large, globe-shaped blooms. Oakleaf (quercifolia) provides unique fall color and oak leaf-shaped foliage with almost panicle shaped blooms. Panicle or Pee Gee (paniculata) produce cone shaped bloom heads that start out white and gradually turn color. Grandiflora (arborescens) or Snow hydrangea. Climbing hydrangeas (anomala). Trumpet Vine is a terrific late summer through autumn performer that provides trumpet-shaped blooms in warm, rich shades for many years. Train to grow on trellises, walls, or fences. 

The ideal soil is porous and drains well, yet still holds enough water for the roots. If your soil is heavy clay and drains slowly, or very sandy and does not hold water, add organic soil amendments (peat moss or ground bark). Spread a 3-4" layer of soil amendment, add fertilizer and incorporate together into the soil to a depth of 10". 

Dig a hole. Place root(s) in hole at depth and spacing noted. Cover with soil. When planting a large quantity of roots in one bed, excavate the entire area to the recommended depth, work fertilizer into the bottom of the trench, place plants then cover roots all at once. Water thoroughly at planting. While actively growing, water frequently and thoroughly so that water will reach the roots. Mulch to keep the soil cool and to prevent the soil from drying out. Apply fertilizer before and after flowering.
