Purple Wisteria Vines?

I got a piece of the vine from my mother in law of a purple Wisteria Vine, it had roots on it, I planted it almost a month ago. How long does it take before it starts to take off. i have not notice it growing or doing anything. How long should I wait before I should get worried that it not going to grow. Oh by the way, I planted it in full sun, I hope that was right.

we had a pink Wisteria vine growing on a trellis in our apartment courtyard.... it was beautiful they cut it down to plant glass.... its kinda funny because they tore it all out and dumped a bunch of dirt and its coming through the dirt...LOL they like sun alot.. and they apparently grow through anything.. i loved that vine.. it smelled great! as long as yours doesnt look like its wilting or drying out and think you should be ok....it might just be growing underneath and setting roots.... the are very hardy vines!
Reply:Sun is probably ok as long as you water it. Just don't let it get too close to the house, they can damage houses. If your motherinlaw is near you, see where hers is growing. Florida is a lot hotter than Washington, so some shade might be nice for it. Water and fertilize and it should start doing something if it is still alive.
Reply:I have never seen a wisteria vine that didn't happily grow! It does well in a sunny location. I have two old vines that are clinging to a wood fence. We have cut them back all the way to the ground twice and they are coming back again. That means that I don't think there is really any way to kill them. Mine grew near the fence and broke the fence as it grew and expanded. Good Luck
Reply:Don't worry, it should grow when the weather gets warm. Don't forget to water it. They are so beautiful, but, can rot wood;ie. porch railings and kill trees. Let it vine around something like a trellis or ironwork.


A warning: the seeds are large and flat and dangerous for an animal to swallow because of the danger of cutting the intestines. Our shih tzu swallowed one and survived with medical care as they monitored it with xrays passing through her intestines.
