Can I plant wisteria pods?

Question:

Can I plant wisteria pods or should it just be the seeds?

  1. You can just plant the seeds. Nick the seeds just slightly and soak them overnight before planting them.

  2. Wisteria like full sun (at least 6 hours a day) and nutrient-rich well-drained soil that is slightly acidic (pH 6.0-7.0).
  3. Sow seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before expected transplant date or directly into the ground after danger of frost has passed.
  4. Seeds should be planted approximately 1/2 inch deep and because seedlings grow quickly, they should be provided with climbing supports pretty early on. Seeds may take as long as 30 to 60 days to germinate.
  5. Wisteria remains in a juvenile state for a long time before reaching maturity. Be prepared to wait as long as 10-15 years or longer before you see any flowers.

I lived in my previous property for over 25 years planted 2 Chinese Wisteria in the 1st year . When, we planned to move , i didnt want leave them behind , but they had grown so large to move without getting machinery in to dig them out . So I collected a seed pod from each Wisteria. Planted the seeds in small plant pots and left them in new garden, 6 months later I got 2 seedlings from each colour.

3 1/2 years later , I planted 2 vines and this year 1 of the 2 came into flower and is moving ever upward !! So pleased with the result. Don't, be put off by being told it could take upto 15 years to flower . It's always worth the effort, you have nothing to lose .
