How to Grow Wisteria Vines From Seeds

Drive through the Southern United States in spring and you will probably see the blue-purple draping flowers of Chinese wisteria hanging from trees and covering arbors and pergolas.
Considered an invasive plant, it is still treasured by many Southern gardeners as an heirloom. While Japanese wisteria is more fragrant and has more bloom colors, it does not produce the abundant blooms of its cousin. Although wisteria seeds have a low germination rate, growing wisteria from seed is a simple and worthwhile
project if you need a fast-growing bloomer that will cover an arbor in record time.

1) Soak in water for 24 hours.
2) Plant four to six presoaked wisteria seeds into a 1-inch-deep hole either in a pot or directly in the ground. Water daily until the seeds grow true leaves, then keep moist, but not wet.
3) Thin the weak seedlings, leaving at least two. Provide support for the wisteria vine by placing a small trellis into a pot or by attaching a string or wire to a nail on the post of an arbor or pergola.
4) Fertilize the wisteria seedling with all-purpose liquid,
timed-release or granular fertilizer once it reaches a height of 6 inches.
5) Train the wisteria vine to twist around the support as it grows until it reaches the top. Train the vine across the supporting structure by attaching strings or wires across the structure and training the vine to twist around them.

Tips & Warnings

Structures for holding wisteria must be very sturdy, as the vines can become very thick and heavy.

I collected these from vines close to where I live. I decided that I wanted some, well I collected way to much so I decided to put some on here for other people to get some...I have started my own just lately, I love the smell of these flowers. Good luck everyone that bids!
