Shelf Life: Best planted within 1 year for maximum germination
Planting Instructions:
Seed Preparation: Scarify the seeds by gently rubbing them with sandpaper or soaking them in warm water for 24 hours to soften the hard seed coat.
Sowing: Plant scarified seeds 1 inch deep in individual pots or directly in the ground in early spring.
Germination: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Germination usually occurs within 4-6 weeks.
Transplanting: Transplant seedlings outdoors after the last frost date, spacing them 10-15 feet apart.
Care and Maintenance: Provide support for young vines to climb, prune after flowering to promote new growth and flowering. Regularly water during dry periods and fertilize in early spring with a balanced fertilizer.
These guidelines should help you successfully grow and care for Purple Wisteria from seed to beautiful flowering vine!
