Wisteria floribunda ‘Alba’ — White wisteria
The Wisteria floribunda ‘Alba’, or Japanese white wisteria, is a majestic climbing plant, famous for its long clusters of delicately scented white flowers. Its elegant habit and abundant flowering evoke purity and poetry, bringing light and softness to any space.
It gracefully unfolds on balconies, pergolas, and facades, offering an enchanting floral display every spring. Its vigorous growth makes it an ideal outdoor plant to create a natural and romantic atmosphere.
Exposure & location
The white wisteria thrives fully in full sun or light partial shade. It needs a warm and bright location to flower well and develop its long hanging clusters.
- Ideal: pergola, wall, railing, or trellis in full sun.
- Soil: rich, fresh, and well-drained.
- Perfect location: a sunny spot sheltered from the wind.
Verdeia tip: keep the base of the plant in the shade and the stems in the sun — it will thank you with a sumptuous flowering.
Watering & maintenance
- Watering: regular during the growing period, without soaking the soil.
- Frequency: 1 to 2 times per week depending on heat and exposure.
- Pruning: after flowering to control growth and stimulate future flowers.
- Maintenance: easy but regular — wisteria likes to be guided and pruned.
- Level: moderate — a bit of attention for a spectacular effect.
Light pruning in summer and more structured pruning in winter helps promote flowering and maintain a harmonious shape.
Decoration ideas & plant associations
The Wisteria ‘Alba’ creates a romantic and meditative atmosphere. Its hanging white flowers pair perfectly with green or silver foliage, and its twining stems gracefully wrap around any support.
- Visual look: white and fragrant floral cascade, perfect for terraces and urban gardens.
- To associate with: star jasmine, clematis, climbing roses, or lavender.
- Ideal pot: large stable container or deep pot to accommodate its vigorous roots.
- Where to place it: on a pergola, entrance arch, or along a sunny wall.
In a pot or in the ground, white wisteria transforms every support into a true living painting.
Verdeia tips
- Repotting: every 2 to 3 years, in spring, into a wider and deeper pot.
- Substrate: mix of potting soil, compost, and sand for good drainage.
- Hardiness: excellent — withstands down to -10 °C once well established.
- Flowering: abundant from May to June, sometimes with a summer rebloom.
It improves with time: the older the wisteria, the more generous and spectacular its blooms become.
