Description
Wisteria Grande Diva® Cecilia, like the other wisterias in the Grande Diva series, is a hybrid of W. brachybotrys (formerly W. venusta) that combines several qualities: rapid flowering, which occurs in the first years of cultivation, a harmonious and uniform flowering throughout the height of the plant, and a reduced vigour that limits the risk of damaging the supporting structure. The 'Diva' wisteria can easily be maintained at a smaller size through pruning, making it suitable for small gardens or even large pots on the terrace. This 'Cecilia' variety offers an abundance of double and bicoloured flowers, lavender blue and white, fragrant and attractive to pollinators in spring.
Wisteria Grande Diva® Cecilia 'MinwiCA05' cov is derived from, among others, a Japanese species of modest stature called the Silky or Graceful Wisteria. It is a French creation dating back to 2007, selected in Anjou by Minier nurseries. It is a small deciduous vine, with foliage appearing in spring and falling in autumn. As an adult, it can reach heights between 3m and 10m depending on how it is pruned and whether it is grown in the ground or in a container. Its twining stems bear leaves divided into 12 ovate leaflets, measuring 4 to 7cm long. These stems twine from left to right (dextrorse) around solid supports. The abundant flowering occurs in May-June, at the same time as the young foliage unfolds with a bronze caramel hue. The flowers are loose, pendulous clusters, 20cm long, fragrant, and composed of double, bicolored papilionaceous flowers, combining lavender blue and white petals. Hardy down to at least -20°C, the Grande Diva Cecilia wisteria is easy to grow in any loose and deep soil, ranging from moist to occasionally dry. This variety has a long lifespan, lasting over 100 years.
The 'Grande Diva Cecilia' wisteria is perfect for adorning a wall, railing, pergola, arbour, or porch in a romantic garden, even of a smaller size. While wisteria branches are usually capable of twisting even the sturdiest grids, this variety is much more "respectful" of its supports. It can also be planted in a large container on a balcony or terrace. It pairs well with a Mayleen montana clematis, a Purpurea Plena Elegans clematis, or perennial sweet peas.

Planting and care
The Grande Diva Cecilia Wisteria should be planted in autumn or spring (March) in fertile, deep and well-drained soil in a sunny or semi-shaded location. Add compost and water well after planting. In February, when the flower buds are formed, prune the branches that are devoid of buds short (to 2 eyes) to aerate the plant. Do not keep more than 4 flower buds (rounded) on the same stem. To train a wisteria to climb a tree, no training pruning is required.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
