Can I plant wisteria pods?

To keep a mature wisteria plant blooming, it's best to cut the seed pods off. Left alone, the pods will ripen and you'll have seeds shooting out several feet (about 1 m.) around the plant. Unless you want a wisteria farm, the seeds shouldn't be allowed to sprout.

Can you divide wisteria?

Take a softwood cutting of the wisteria plant in spring through midsummer; cut a section of the new growth tips that includes several leaf sets. Remove the lower two sets of leaves from the cutting. Alternatively, you can take a hardwood cutting in winter, but softwood cuttings tend to be easier to root.

Does Wisteria transplant well?

Wisteria vines typically do not transplant well. If the wisteria is 20 years old, the best option is to buy a new plant. If the plant is only a few years old, you have a better chance at transplanting because the plant hasn't had as much time to establish itself in its first location.

Can I move an established wisteria?

Wisteria plants are almost impossible to move once settled, so make sure you can provide them with the space and support they require. Don't try and grow wisteria up a pergola, unless it's very strong, as plants will twist and break weak structures.

Where is the best place to plant a wisteria?

Plant wisterias in full sun or partial shade, but make sure the vines receive at least six hours of direct sun daily to encourage good flower development. Also choose a sheltered planting location if you live in a colder climate, since the flower buds can be damaged by a hard spring frost.

Is Wisteria poisonous to dogs?

While these climbing growers are useful for sprucing up your landscaping and vertical space, they can also be toxic to dogs and cats, particularly since wisteria contains poisonous seeds and pods.

What month does wisteria bloom?

Wisteria rewards well, a beautiful climber flowering between April and June. If Wisteria is growing well and happy in its spot, you may also get a second flush of weaker flowers in late summer around August time.

When can I repot my wisteria?

The wisteria will need repotting every two years into a larger pot unless you prune the roots to keep the plant in a bonsai fashion. Choose a pot that is widest at the neck so removing and replacing the plant is easy.
