Wisteria "Blue Sapphire" - where to buy?

[Palmers-patch]

Although I’m mostly a veg person I do have a pergola and we have just replaced one of the posts after 25 years. I want to plant a wisteria ‘blue sapphire’ (4 - 5 ft tall) but cannot find one I like in our local garden centres (North Staffs) Can anyone recommend a reputable online seller. I’m a bit cautious and haven’t ordered large plants online before but if this is the only way I’m going to get a good wisteria I will have to do it! Hope someone can help, thanks.

Hi and welcome to the board!

Are you sure that this is as tall as it gets? Most wisteria I've heard of are pretty thuggish and can quickly get VERY big. But then a pergola sounds a sturdy enough support.

Sculptural Plants
This website seems to have a good variety of different wisteria which makes me think you're less likely to get a thug in disguise.

That looks a good site!

Just wanted to say it's nice to see you again pp...I imagine your kiddies have flown the nest by now?

Thanks for the postings…was hoping to plant a wisteria, initial height 5ft but hoping it will trail up over the pergola, 7-8 ft high and 12 ft across… I did see an Oxford sight that looked promising. Have you ordered large plants online before? The sculptural site looks interesting but my plant needs to meander more. Think I will have to buy a mailer plant and be patient!

Hi Nicos, they have indeed, both married and family increased by one!
