Can you grow Wisteria from a seed pod?

This summer was the first year my Wisteria Vine bloomed. Now we have what looks like 2 seed pods hanging from the vine. Does anyone know if you can grow another vine from that pod of seeds? I haven't pulled it off or tried to open it up. Any suggestion?

Can you grow Wisteria from a seed pod?
I've grown wisteria from seed. Very easy. Poke the seeds into some good seed-starting potting soil and then lightly cover with soil. Keep moist but not soggy. I like to put a little sprinkling of milled sphagnum moss on top of the soil to cut down on fungus and mold. Place your pot inside a plastic baggie and seal. Germination usually occurs within 2-3 weeks. When the seedlings come up, take the pot out of the bag and make sure it gets plenty of sunlight and not allowed to dry out. After the seedlings have a set of true leaves, prick them gently out of the pot and pot up separately. Put the pot outdoors (when no danger of frost) and put them in a place that is protected from direct sunlight and extremes of weather, wind, rain, etc. for about 2 weeks. After that, they will have completed their acclimitization and can be planted directly in the desired spot as long as you have at least 45 days before the first frost. I hope this helps.
Reply:Although you can grow wisteria from seed it can take several years before the plant will bloom. Report It

Reply:yes but it is easier to propagate from a cutting
Reply:Sure. Plunk em in dirt in a 4 inch pot, water, put pot in a ziplock (clear) plastic bag, all to a south window and watch the fun happen! You can also root cuttings in clear containers of water in a sunny window....even at this time of year.





Have fun!
