Wisteria Germination:

1) Unlike many seeds, wisteria seeds don’t require very high temperatures to germinate. But, be Sure to Keep nighttime temperatures above 55 degrees Fahrenheit and daytime temperatures around 75 F.

2)  The tough outer hulls need to be weakened slightly to allow the embryo inside to germinate.

3) Pack seeds in damp sand for several days to loosen outer hulls.

4) It’s best to start the seeds in individual 3-inch pots.

5) Sow wisteria seeds 2 inches deep, then set the pots on a tray to catch any water that leaks from the drainage holes; then drizzle water into each pot to settle the soil.

6) Check the moisture level in the growing mixture every day and mist the soil with water whenever it feels mostly dry on the surface. Don’t let the soil dry out completely, but also don’t keep it dripping wet because the seeds might rot. 

7) Wisteria seeds will take 1-2 Months to sprout, at which point, move the pots near a bright, sunny window to encourage growth.
