In this video I'm showing you how to grow Wisteria from seed and discuss all the steps I took from seed to 3 week old Wisteria seedlings. So if you were wondering how to germinate Wisteria seeds this video illustrates the process.
I got several Wisteria seed pods from a Chinese wisteria (Wisteria sinensis) which I want to germinate and eventually grow into a Wisteria Bonsai. The approach of growing Wisteria Bonsai from seed is certainly not the fastest way to do it but the fact that the Wisteria plant is a vigorous grower should speed up the process.
Germinating Wisteria seeds is easy and, as you will see in the video, the germination rate is very high. No wonder this species is an invasive one. You just have to hydrate the seeds by keeping them in water for a few days and then keep them in a humid environment. Once the seeds have germinated you can plant them in containers or directly in your garden while making sure the soil they're planted in does not dry out. When planting directly in the ground you should make sure you select the right place to grow wisteria plants since they are vigorous climbers and may get out of control if not constantly maintained.
