Recent Question from Gardeners
Question
Amethyst Falls Wisteria
I have an amethyst falls wisteria that I have planted by a sturdy arbor. Do I train it straight up the arbor? Or weave it back and forth up the side as it grows?
Answer
I would train the vine to climb straight up the arbor but it is a matter of personal choice, training a plant can be treated like a work of art. It also depends how much effort you would like to put in and the final look you are attempting to create. Thanks for the question hope this helps.
