Question:
Is there any advantage to giving Wisteria plant food that encourages flowers?
Answer:
Wisteria is a legume – in the pea family – which means it produces its own nitrogen. If you apply a nitrogen fertilizer it will only encourage more green growth. Adding phosphorus and potassium to the soil would provide the nutrients the plant needs to flower. You can find those in bone meal and blood meal.
