At Capel Manor Gardens, nestled among the lush greenery and vibrant blooms, you can find Wisteria Sinensis. With its cascading clusters of purple flowers, this enchanting climber adds a touch of elegance and allure to our 30-acre Gardens in Enfield, North London.
Originating from parts of Asia and the United States, Wisteria Sinensis has traversed continents to find its home in gardens worldwide, cherished for its graceful vines and breathtaking blooms. Here at Capel Manor Gardens, we celebrate the arrival of spring with open arms as the wisteria comes into full bloom, painting our surroundings with hues of purple reminiscent of a dream.
Wisteria Sinensis serves as more than a visual spectacle; it plays a significant role in attracting and supporting pollinators. Bees and butterflies flock to its fragrant flowers, making it a haven for these essential creatures. As stewards of the environment, we recognise the importance of nurturing habitats for pollinators, and our wisteria stand as a testament to our commitment to biodiversity.
To ensure the longevity and vitality of our wisteria, our gardeners use careful pruning techniques in early summer and late winter, coaxing forth its stunning blooms and maintaining its size and shape. This attention to detail ensures that each year, our wisteria displays a spectacle that leaves our Garden visitors in awe.
As you wander through our Gardens, be sure to seek out the wisteria-clad walls of our Walled Garden and explore the estate where these majestic climbers grace arbors and trellises alike. Should you miss its purple blooms, anticipation awaits as Wisteria Floribunda Longissima Alba, with its long, white, pea-like flowers tinged with a hint of lilac, takes centre stage in the weeks to come.
At Capel Manor Gardens, we invite you to immerse yourself in the beauty of nature, to wander amidst the wisteria-draped pathways, and to discover the wonders that await in every corner. Join us as we celebrate the timeless allure of Wisteria Sinensis, a symbol of grace and elegance in our ever-changing world.
