Growing Tips for Wisteria frutescens ''Nivea''
Thrives in full sun but can tolerate partial shade, although it may produce fewer blooms in lower light. This vigorous vine prefers well-drained, slightly acidic soils and will benefit from a sturdy support structure as it matures. Pruning after flowering encourages more blooms and keeps the vine tidy.
