Wisteria hysteria at Exbury

Wisteria hysteriaThe elegant sheets of colour produced by Exbury’s flowering wisterias is causing excitement among visitors to the world-famous gardens in the New Forest.

And one plant in particular – an adventurous specimen climbing high into the tree tops near the Azalea Bowl, is reckoned to be the tallest wisteria in the country.

But for visitors who don’t want to crane their necks, the glamorous flowing tresses of the Sundial Garden Wisteria floribunda Macrobotrys’ wisteria and the spectacular colour of those by Exbury North station (a wisteria climbing into a yew and high into an oak beyond) and the Top Pond are causing comment.

“We’ve always been congratulated on the wisterias which are just coming into their own, about ten days later than previous years” said Head Gardener John Anderson “But this year they really are fantastic. Lionel de Rothschild would have planted the climbing wisterias in the early 1920s. This year because of the late flowering the flowers are more difficult to see as the host trees are in full leaf, but visitors should definitely seek them out.”
