Low-effort approach to Wisteria — what you can get away with

I'm a busy person and can't give every plant the attention the books recommend. Here's what I've learned about the minimum viable care for Wisteria.

providing a robust support structure before planting is genuinely non-negotiable — skip this and the plant declines noticeably. Everything else, I've found, has more tolerance than expected. roots disturbing foundations if planted too close to buildings will happen if you're inattentive for too long — check occasionally and deal with it quickly. ability to soften hard architectural features naturally holds up even with fairly basic care. a house wall with appropriate fixings for support has been good because it suits the plant's needs without me having to compensate with extra intervention. A plant for real life, not ideal conditions.
