Due to its climbing habit, with which it can reach a height of up to 12 m (in exceptional cases up to 30 m). can, the wisteria should be combined with plants that also like to rise to dizzying heights swing up.
When combining it with other flowering plants, pay attention to the flowering time of the wisteria if you want to admire the flowers of both plants at the same time. Alternatively, you can also choose partners that flower at a later time than the wisteria.
As a true sun worshiper and lover of warmth, the Wisteria should have neighbors who also feel very comfortable in the sun.
Combine wisteria on the trellis or the facade
As a climbing plant, the wisteria is best expressed on trellises and house facades. Combinations with other climbing plants are therefore worthwhile. It is advisable to choose climbing plants that are annual. You shouldn't displace the wisteria with your growth, but rather gently ensnare it and subordinate it.
The following plants are perfect for a combination with Wisteria:
- morning glory
- Nasturtium
- Sweet Pea
- climbing snapdragon
- Wild Wine
- ivy
- laburnum
Combine wisteria with ivy
The ivy easily adapts to the location of the wisteria. It forms beautiful foliage all year round and thus a welcome balance to the summer green wisteria. Since both plants are quite fast-growing, you should keep a minimum distance of 5 m on a facade or a trellis.
Combine wisteria with morning glory
The one-year-old morning glory can easily climb up the wisteria without it feeling pressured. It replaces it when it flowers from July, which makes this combination particularly valuable. In addition, the morning glory tolerates the same location as the wisteria.
Combine Wisteria in the bucket
Grown as a stem, the wisteria fits nicely into buckets. Smaller perennials that adorn the trunk area and harmonize with its appearance with their shape and color suit it in particular.
- steppe candles
- ornamental onion
- hosts
- iris
- columbine
Combine wisteria with steppe candles
The steppe candles like it sunny and warm and are therefore suitable planting partners for the wisteria in the bucket. When you raise your flower candles in early summer and the wisteria is in full bloom, an almost magical interaction can arise. Underplant blue-violet wisteria with yellow, orange or white steppe candles.
Combine wisteria with laburnum
You can combine the wisteria wonderfully with the laburnum. This interplay produces a fascinating spectacle of colours: the yellow flowers of the laburnum stand in complementary contrast to the violet flowers of the wisteria. Place both plants in separate containers.
