Does anyone know how to get a wisteria vine to bloom?

This vine has been coming back for about seven years and has not produced one bloom. Someone told me that you need two wisteria plants together to produce blooms. I need some advice - help me please, or I will have to get rid of it and try again. Thanks.

Wisterias are heavey feeders Mine bloomed the second year and is about to bloom again any day now. I use rabbit poop and Miracle-Gro Shake n feed. And water often. Oh and I only have one.
Reply:Wisterias are notorious for not blooming if they receive too much nitrogen in their fertilizer, even though they grow madly. If your wisteria is near a fertilized lawn, it's probably receiving too much nitrogen.





Wisterias also need a slightly acidic soil; try using a fertilizer such as Mir-acid (same company that makes Miracle-Gro) on the plant.
Reply:My husband swears by Miracle Gro...puts it on every few weeks with the hose sprayer. My wisteria go very big, but took years to bloom. Don't give up!
