Q: We had a beautiful Wisteria creeping along the canopy of our mobile home. Every spring it was thick with purple flowers and lovely to look at. It wasn’t as mature as some I have seen as it still had lots of green leaves amongst the flowers, where as many of the more mature ones flower first then the leaves come later. A couple of years ago we found “scale” on it and had to cut it right back to nothing. It has been a couple of years now and it has re-grown up the post and along the canopy again but the foliage doesn’t seem as thick as it once was and of course there are no flowers. Is there there something we could do or a treatment we could give it to help it fill out more and flower for next year or is it just a matter of maturity?
Flowering with Wisteria can be a problem for some people and there could be a variety of reasons why yours isn’t flowering.
If you want to force your plant to flower, you can abuse the main trunk and put the vine through drought stress. Although these methods work well, letting your Wisteria flower naturally is best, so only use these two techniques as your last resort.
