Wisteria seed pod - My Garden
This year our Wisteria has produced a couple of seed pods, one of which is huge, over a foot long and more like a runner bean! wedding cards Has anyone had any success in growing Wisteria from seed, and if so, have any tips on how best to do it. Many thanks.
I have a couple od wisteria seedlings in my garden my they have nothing to do with me. As the pods dry and twist they open with a crack that sounds a shot from an air rifle. The seeds are scattered for quite a distance. The seeds that I didn't find to try and grow myself never came to anything. The ones that escaped are doind fine.
The standard advice is that wisteria grown from seed are unlikely to flower well - they may be healthy plants but the flowers wedding cards may be small/shortlived/poor in colour. The named varieties have been selected for their quality and aren't grown from seed - they're grafted on to rootstocks. Plant breeders plant thousands of seeds and select the best few. The chances of any one seedling being worthwhile are very small. But who knows? wedding cards You may be lucky. Cheers,
I like to try and grow things to see what I get. If I think that I may have something that I like then I will try and graft it nto another plant. I like the serendipity of it all. I always let clematis seedlingd grow until they prove that they are sterile.Who knows one day there might be a Valerian red clematis or evem wisteria.
Many years ago as I waited for my daughter to come out of school I picked up some seed pods from a nearby albizzia (Persian Silk) tree which is related to wisteria. I sowed the seeds in pots and they ALL germinated. Some I gave away, some I planted in open ground but they are now lost to me as I moved. Now I'm left with one. It's in a pot and although it's not terribly happy like that it will have to stay so I can take it with me if I move again. We are sentimentally attached!
