Why is my Wisteria flowering again ?

Question

I haven't pruned it back and yet, it's suddenly come into bloom once more. Is this normal ?

Answer 1

In Texas, one person, Stonebec, had a Wisteria that went through a 5-bloom cycle in a year:
"I am not sure if I have the Japanese or Chinese wisteria. I understand it has something to do with whether it coils to the right or left. I braided 5 main stems together to form a tree-like structure with mine but it still needs a trellis to grow on because it is fast! Mine has it's first bloom before it gets any leaves, about early March here in Fort Worth. It goes through about 5 bloom cycles a year."

But this site had the most comments about how their's didn't bloom:

Seems they bloom if they have a lot of Phosporus."In 2001, in frustration that it didn't bloom I read up on how to make it bloom...the answer - PHOSPORUS!
In late fall, dig a shallow trench around the main trunk, pour superphosphate along the trench, shovel over and water thoroughly. Next spring (unless late frost kills the buds), you should have beautiful blossoms! It worked for me and it bloomed well the first year, and less so in 2002."

Have you been putting banana peels in your ground around your Wisteria? LOL I'd say you're very lucky for it to bloom several times a year compared to the frustration some other people have with it.

Answer 2

once you assert that's a finished of lifestyles wisteria, do you imply that that's in simple terms very large? I truthfully have 2 wisterias and one is vigourous or quickly grwoing, the different is sluggish ( a chinese language wisteria). particularly prune it two times a 365 days regardless of if that's in desire of flowering, the 1st being in july and take it back 3 "notches" or nodes. the 2nd is on the tip of autumn and must be taken back 6 "notches" or nodes. of direction, all vegetation are different in appreciate of their place, the sort of soil, the soil condition, the sort and ammount of foodstuff it receives, and so forth. attempt one ingredient at a time and notice what works suitable.

Answer 3

They can come into flower again in the autumn (though usually only sparsely. Maybe it's confused by all the weird weather we've had this year. Or perhaps it thinks it's early summer as the sun's only just arrived! Either way it's a bonus eh?!

Answer 4

You jammy thing !!
I wouldnt mind that. We have had a funny old year and its probably just down to that. Just sit back with a smug look on ya face to annoy the neighbours lol

Answer 5

It's possible that you have excess phosphate/potassium in your soil, which can force the plant to bloom again.
No big deal, but it may benefit you to test it.

Answer 6

It is flowering because it feels like it.

Answer 7

BECAUSE YOU KNOW HOW TO LOOK AFTER A GARDEN FLOWER.......congrats
