Here in northern MN we don't get enough warmth. They need all the sun they can get to have a chance. My favorite nursery has one that's twenty years old and still only blooms once a decade. It's in full sun, my guess is there isn't enough heat around here. No one uses them in their landscaping around here.

I HATE common names!
That is Milletta japonica 'Mekura Fuji', and it DOES bloom.
It is NOT a wisteria -- with or without the "h."

I found this information on a Spanish Site and used Microsoft Translator -
Millettia japonica is the botanical name of this species belonging to the family Fabaceae and is commonly known as: Wisteria in summer and Wisteria fuji-hime. Its synonyms are as follows: Kraunhia japonica, Millettia japonica var. microphylla and Wisteria japonica.
General description:
This original climber of East Asia (Japan and Korea) lends itself to be taken into account. Millettia japonica uses insects to pollinate their hermaphroditic reproductive units equipped with flowers. Finally: this species has deciduous and serves to fix nitrogen into the soil.
Needs:
Millettia japonica species will develop better in soils with pH acid or neutral. Its underground part will grow vigorously in brackets textured Sandy, franca , or clay, these can be generally wet. Is of utmost importance to water taking into account previous information, but also factors such as: exposure to the Sun, soil texture, temperature, time of year, etc. All of this to look for a more or less constant in stand moisture balance. An interesting comment is that does not tolerate the echarcamientos, the area of planting should be very well drained.
As for your lighting needs, we can assert that it is very demanding, only you can place in a place with direct exposure to the Sun to not adversely affect its growth as normal.
With regard to its strength against adverse conditions we can say that the minimum range of temperatures that can deal are the 8 zone .
Pests and diseases:
We have not yet found credible information about what kind of diseases or pests can affect this species, but we are actively working to find the information.
Decorative applications:
It can be used to create wooded environments for purely aesthetic purposes or to provide some privacy.
Medicinal uses:
This species does not have any medicinal use which we have documented. However we continue to offer new content and it is possible that in the future new information is displayed.
Human consumption:
Soon will be available descriptions of the food uses of this species. For now we will simply write what parts can be leveraged. They are the following: leaves and seeds.
Other species of the same genus:
•Millettia dielsiana Harms

very helpful, thank-you. I agree that common names can create problems, yet they persist.
Club members have 2 very olde ones that show up during shows. None have ever bloomed.
I do like the growth habit and smaller leaf size.

I saw noted in a few different articles that if you are trying to obtain blooms it is recommended to refrain from fertilizers.
