Garden Clinic Digs Deeper With Linda Ross

The Garden Clinic heads off to Japan this week for a very special mauve-tinted expedition to see the wonderful wisteria.Much of my love of gardening revolves around the anticipation of a single ephemeral event: winter’s sweet lemon scented white daphne, spring’s species tulips, streets fleetingly fringed with jacaranda; and wisteria’s short-lived lilac lace.•To sit or stand underneath a flowering wisteria vine in full bloom, gazing through the mauve veil of flowers, inhaling the scent, and listening to the bees is bliss.•On the podcast today I revel in wisteria and particularly the Japanese species. I recorded the podcast recently in Japan whilst traveling to the best wisteria gardens on the planet. I touch on wisteria styles, varieties to look for, training, pruning techniques, feeding and finish by sharing my favourite wisteria wonderlands.Article:https://www.gardenclinic.com.au/how-to-grow-article/wisteriaBook reference:Wisteria by Peter ValderTravel:To Japan’s wisteria festivals with mewww.rossgardentours
