The buzz around Japan and Washington D.C.'s iconic cherry blossom season has had us going so completely flower crazy that we almost missed the next seasonal bloom that'll put us in spring paradise—Japanese wisteria. These purple, pink, blue, and white bulbs take over the country in lush gardens late April.

If you can't travel to Japan to see their famed wisteria gardens, just grow your own—Home Depot is currently selling wisteria roots for just $23 each. While they aren't fully grown trees, you'll be able to grow your own in your backyard easily—just give it some TLC and tons of sunlight. Here's everything you'll need to know after purchasing your Home Depot wisteria to create a floral wonderland in your backyard.

Where can I plant my Japanese wisteria tree?

Wisteria trees need tons of sunshine—at least 6 hours a day of it. As for soil, the tree will thrive in pretty much anything as long as it's well drained. Wisteria are also vigorous climbers—if planted near a fence, they'll cling onto it easily, so just make sure that's the look you're going for.

How often does my tree need to be watered?

After planting, the wisteria needs at least one inch of water per week to thrive. If you're buying more than one, make sure to space them out at least 15-20 feet apart.

How do I plant my Japanese wisteria tree?

Take the bareroot Wisteria and soak the roots in a pail of water for a few hours. Then, place it in a whole wide enough for the roots to spread and deep enough so that the crown—where the stem meets the root—is planted one inch below the surface. Wisterias need a lot of support when they're growing, so properly stake your bareroot after planting.
