Older wisteria survive easily frost and snow
Is the blue rain hardy?
Although the wisteria looks exotic and reminds of a summer holiday with its magnificent flower, it is a winter hardy climbing plant. That applies at least to the older copies. A young blue rain is still very sensitive.
How do I overwinter bucket and young plants?
A glass of rain in the bucket or a very young blue rain overwinter you best cool and not too dark. A cold greenhouse or an unheated conservatory are well suited for this. Temperatures around the freezing point may well prevail there, because the blue rain is basically hardy. In a mild area, you can also spend the winter outdoors.
It is important that the roots of your Blauregens not freeze, otherwise the plant enters. Therefore, the root ball should be protected from frost in a harsh area. This can be achieved, for example, by wrapping the planter on all sides (also below!) With an old blanket, plant fleece or jute sacks. The above-ground parts of the plant can be protected from frostbites with a layer of foliage, brushwood or RIindenmulch or with air-repellent film.
How do I take care of my wisteria in winter?
Even in winter, your wisteria needs water, but only in small quantities. The soil should not dry out completely. Depending on the prevailing temperature varies the amount of water required. Only water on frost-free days. In winter quarters your blue rain needs a bit more water. However, you should refrain from fertilizer.
How do I treat frost damage on my blue rain?
In the spring, discover some frozen shoots on your blue rain, then cut them generously into healthy wood. Within a short time, the plant will drive out there again. Even frozen flowers and buds can be easily removed. However, the blue rain will not bloom in the upcoming season on these shoots.
