It looks so pretty! Probably doesn't grow well here in Spokane tho. Does it need a more tropical climate?

I really love any hardy, blooming perennial, especially one so absolutely gorgeous. You should see the neighborhood around here first of Spring. I took phone pix last time. But it got out of control in my yard. Drastic measures were undertaken. I still have a lot, never fear, you kinda can't kill it.Ah, that's just 'wistful' thinking.

I don't see where it says it doesn't grow where you are, just that it will one day take over the Southeast US…
According to this site its hardiness zones are 4-9. I think yer in zone 2-3, but not sure...

Here's Spokane, which doesn't show a zone number, though it does show -15º to -10º, and zone 4 is -20º to -30º, so you should be good to go…!

I planted wisteria the summer previous and just waiting for it to take off!
Won't be long now and you will start to look like ol' Jordie Verrel!!
Well, I don't think she planted it in her ears!

I did like your very first post about Mr. King. Yes - his wife and children must be very proud of him! He is so down to earth and approachable. Just an 'ordinary kind of guy' when on tour and yet he has such a vivid imagination. He is a born storyteller, in my opinion. People worldwide love his books and short stories. Look at the reception he got on his recent European tour - thousands were wanting to listen to him speak and have him sign their books.Oh, gosh, thanks for the welcomes. I don't generally go on forums, so it was a surprise to see this. "Blunthead" asked which books I like best. Honestly, I'm not good at remembering titles (it's true), so I'd have to go through the lists. Regardless, each story is unique, yet the genre and themes are similar, the writing smooth, and the easy "chatting" style is engaging.
I just finished "Bag of Bones," (I don't go in any particular order - depends on what my used bookstore has in stock - lol). I could relate to some of the more metaphysical aspects (long story - but this is Stephen's site), and I've noticed similar themes in other books. I've had my own experiences with other-worldly things, and I liked the holographic (see-through) "spirits" juxtaposed with "ectoplasmic" spirits (I've seen both). That's the only reason I stopped by - I was just curious what this was about, and if he or anyone he knows also has that "thing" to them.
Being the same age as he is, I can relate to what he said about the past (sorry to see many of our iconic figures passing now), and being from the eastcoast, originally, I can easily imagine New England. That's kind of it. Guess I'm not too interesting on a forum and I don't propose at all to "know" anything about either him or his family - just that I think he made some good choices, and I'm happy for his success.
Oh, my gosh, I just saw all the emoticons (it's a huge amount) -- I wonder if anyone has written an entire post just using those (it IS possible!). Thanks again.
Welcome once again Wisteria. I hope you come back often to post! Have a great weekend
My mom grew it in southern NJ and a friend in northern PA. It just went dormant in the colder months.
Welcome Wisteria!
My first thought was you were a Desperate Housewives fan didn't they lived at Wisteria Lane.
But I learnd now it's a beautiful plant.
Keep on posting!

There are varieties that will grow here in Maine and rumor has it we're not in a tropical climate--confirmed by the -20+ degree days we have on occasion and that other four letter word that begins with an "s".
