Wisteria

Next year in late March I will be in Barcelona and Toulouse. I also love wisteria. Is it too early for the blooms even that far south?

I live pretty much on a parallel with Toulouse in the Dordogne, and it's just now starting to bloom...and it was the warmest winter and earliest spring I can remember in 25 years, so I wouldn't be too hopeful.

I just came back from Italy and the wisteria was amazing! Rome, Florence, Milan, Genoa. That was the last two weeks of March. I would think Barcelona would be similar.

Actually, the wisteria has emerged incredibly fast here in recent days, and it's everywhere and gorgeous! I got a bunch of seeds from a neighbor and am going to plant some. It is beyond beautiful and the scent is heavenly. Here's hoping you find it on your travels.
