Wisteria cuttings, how to grow?

I had one of those things in my yard for years. It was a nightmare to keep trimmed. As for clippings you can simply stick them into moist ground and they will grow.

Beware... that thing will kill other plants/trees, knock over fences, loosen the siding on your house, and make mowing your yard a horrible mess!

I wouldn't recommend that plant to anyone!

It puts runners in the ground that will spring up 30-40 feet away and climb trees. You have to watch for runners continuously. They will get out of hand in a hurry!

It depends on the variety of wisteria you have planted, but cuttings from an already blooming wisteria should bloom within a year or two. A new one grown from seed can take as long as 15 years before it starts blooming. Take the largest cutting you can, because you'll have faster blooms that way. Also, pruning after it blooms will encourage more blooms that same year. You'll get an explosion of color for about 2 weeks - typical for wisterias. Afterwards, some light pruning can lead to a few splashes of color until it goes dormant. This also helps keep the plant from taking over. It can grow 15 feet a year!

It sounds like you found some wild wisteria which is fairly easy to grow from a cutting. The wild form of this plant is very invasive and will spread anywhere and everywhere. You can buy the 'tame' version of this plant which is less invasive and has larger flowers. Good luck.

What chuck said is true.. but I love them too.. and smell good as well..

I have one.. it is planted in the shade.. not around anything else.. it will grow.. then get a tomato cage place in around it. and it will grow on to it..

it will get larger threw the years.. mine never sprouted anywhere else..

try to keep just one main vain coming out of the ground.. mow close to it..

I never had good luck with the pods..

just have fun.. u can always dig it up before it gets out of control..

good luck

Thank you, found this Q&A very informative.
