Summary
Wisteria sinensis, commonly known as the Chinese wisteria, is a species of flowering plant in the pea family native to China. It is a deciduous vine that grows 20-30m tall and is widely cultivated in temperate regions for its twisting stems and masses of scented flowers in hanging racemes in spring. All parts of the plant contain a glycoside called wisterin which is toxic if ingested. It was unknown in the west before 1816, when several agents of the East India Company sent cuttings back to England. It is commonly trained along garden walls, along the exterior of buildings, or over a pergola, and may also be trained as a freestanding tree. There are several cultivars, including 'Alba', 'Prolific', 'Amethyst', and 'Jako', which have gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.

Germination/Propagation Top

Suggest a correction or add new data!
Sow seeds at 20°C, expecting germination within 3 months without further temperature treatment.
Requires Scarification: Scarification involves physically breaking, scratching, or softening the seed coat to allow water absorption and germination to occur. This can be done by nicking the seed coat with a knife or rubbing the seeds between sheets of sandpaper.
Requires Soaking: These seeds need to be soaked in warm water until they swell, which can take 24-48 hours. Seeds that float are usually not viable and should be discarded, along with the soaking water.
