Plants. Lime makes soils less acidic and more alkaline. Most plants grow best in slightly acidic soil. By adding lime to the soil, you can kill a variety of pest plants. Fewer nutrients become available to the unwanted plants as the soil becomes less acidic.
Select a well-draining site in full sun for your wisteria. These plants require at least six hours of direct sunlight each day. They prefer moist locations that don't dry out excessively, but won't tolerate wet feet. Multiple plants will need at least 10 to 15 feet of space between them.
Some would consider growing wisteria for its gnarled, twining growth and graceful, green foliage alone, but then in spring it tops all this by producing a truly breathtaking display of long, pendant, scented flowers. All it needs is a little annual care. When to Prune: Winter and summer. Time to Complete: 3 hours.
