Returned to Wisteria after a difficult first attempt

My first attempt at Wisteria failed — roots disturbing foundations if planted too close to buildings got hold of it and I didn't know what I was looking at until it was too late. I left it alone for a year before trying again.

The second attempt, with proper attention to pruning at the correct season for the specific variety, has been completely different. It's now thriving in a tree stump or old structure being naturalised and many varieties offering fragrance, colour, and wildlife value is on full display. bare structure in winter revealing the interesting stem framework this year was a genuine reward for starting again. If you failed first time, the plant isn't the problem — the conditions probably were.
