How far north will wisteria grow and bloom?

Lots of it grows in my area (SC) and seems like I've seen it on TV shoes
supposedly in England.

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]That's considered zone 7a (as low as 0-5 degrees F in winter).

One of our neighbors had the most magnificent wisteria vines I've still ever seen covering one side of his garage, and that was many years ago, when it actually got that cold.
