Wisteria are one of my favorites and what a magnificent background that old building makes for it.abbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08879476262337290531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240067140694289750.post-3098762161171223272010-05-10T12:36:25.601-04:002010-05-10T12:36:25.601-04:00It grows here, too, and it's blooming right no...It grows here, too, and it's blooming right now. HEAVENLY scent. In fact, two weeks ago I took Sparky to a playground for an hour and kept smelling wisteria but couldn't see it. Finally looked UP: it had grown up into a cedar tree above the playground, 30-40 feet high, and actually stuck up taller than the tree itself!fooleryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14437690389824744691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240067140694289750.post-78746867130033619142010-05-07T15:49:39.783-04:002010-05-07T15:49:39.783-04:00I love wisteria, too!

(You may have been remembering Designing Women, an entirely different show from the '80s about a gaggle of women... which seems to be a theme.)<br /><br />My in-laws built a pergola in their back yard and it is now completely covered with wisteria, to the point that it's kinda like a big shady tree. Very cool. Does it grow in the shade? Because we have lots of shade here...<br /><br />WV schemmit. Sounds like a curse word. SCHEMMIT!

If you don't train it to climb properly it can take over everything. And it needs a sturdy structure to climb on as it is very heavy.
