Reply:wisteria grown from seed may never bloom. you must buy cutting grown from a nursery or grow your own from a cutting taken from a host plant.





grown from a cutting, if memory serves, could be 5 years plus to bloom.





best to buy a plant from a nursery and get the blooms within a season or two.
Reply:i have read alot about this plant..from what i have read starting one from seed does not guarantee blooms....and if it ever does flower it can take at least 10 yrs...it is best to get a cutting from a plant that has actually bloomed and if you do that it can take 5-7 yrs before it actually blooms





i currently have about 30 cuttings of kentucky wisteria in a bucket waiting on the roots to sprout....i made sure i took them from a flowering plant a couple of weeks ago...it is growing wild on a river bank here and i hope it grows after it roots...plan on training/keeping it in bush form to keep it from taking over the yard
Reply:I planted a wisteria seed in San Jose, California and the first year I got the plant, which I let grow up on a trellis. The second year I got blooms and ever after.
Reply:I live in Massachusetts, my neighbors and the surrounding town the wisteria have bloomed and gone several weeks ago.


My 15 year old seedlings, now the size of monsters have yet to Bear a single flower. They get reasonable water and feed, I cut them back every other year, plenty of sun for one, and part shade for the other! The saving grace is that the privacy of my deck in the summer is insured by these beasts! Oh well...
