Does wisteria pollenate itself, or do you have to have a male and female plant?

well I am wanting to plant wisteria yet, i don't want it to take over. So I was wondering if it would be easier to contorl if I only had 1 plant in a pot. but if it pollenates itself then it will spout in other places. if it needs 2 plants then my idea would work, right

Does wisteria pollenate itself, or do you have to have a male and female plant?
Wisteria has to grow to it's mature height of between 15 to 25 feet in order for it even to produce blossoms. Once full grown it produces pods that contain it's seeds; the seeds are very few and are dark brown and flat. The pods/seeds are poisonous if consumed-watch out if you have children. These pods average from between 3 to 6 inches and can be plucked to prevent it from seeding itself. But here again the plant has to grow to it's maturity for this to happen. The plant does need ALOT of sunny %26amp; space to grow.
