Product Description

Japanese Wisteria (Wisteria floribunda) Japanese wisteria was brought from Japan to the United States in 1860 by George Rogers Hall. Since then, it has become one of the most highly romanticized flowering garden plants. It is also a common subject for bonsai, along with Wisteria sinensis(Chinese wisteria) The flowering habit of Japanese wisteria is perhaps the most spectacular of the Wisteria family. It sports the longest flower racemes of any wisteria; they can reach nearly half a meter in length. These racemes burst into great trails of clustered blue flowers in early- to mid-spring. The flowers carry a distinctive fragrance similar to that of grapes. Japanese wisteria can grow over 30m long over many supports via powerful clockwise-twining stems. The foliage consists of shiny, dark-green, pinnately compound leaves 10-30cm in length. The leaves bear 9-13 oblong leaflets that are each 2-6 cm long. It also bears brown, velvety, bean-like seed pods 5-10cm long that mature in summer and persist until winter. Japanese wisteria prefers moist soils and full sun in USDA plant hardiness zones 5-9. The plant often lives over fifty years

Happy~
Much to my great suprise, this seed is already sprouting!

Hooray! I didn't expect it to germinate so soon.

A bit of advice, nick the seed before planting to open up the shell. Then, use high grade seed starter soil. I also use distilled water (DO NOT USE TAP WATER)that has been slightly warmed to raise the temp of the soil to about 85 degrees. I water every morning (early) with just one teaspoon of warm water over the top of the seeded area to stimulate growth. This has worked very, very well for me with seeds in the past.

I am excited about growing this one. :D

Its no doubt A belle plant but....
I've noticed Rare plants like these grow better in Bonsai Boy Conifer SOil Mix. Put these seeds in a Humidity Tray or anything anywhere there is HUMIDITY, and youll see the results, dont be pushy either these take about a month, so watch it! Humidity is what this plant is all about.

Did not come out unfortunately
Not sure of any special care as company sent generic instructions (not particular to this plant). Nothing came out although quality soil and adequate temperature condition were provided.
