Hi Eden

This happened to me last year. My friend at work has a lottie and enjoys gardening. She was speaking to one of the groundsmen at our campus where they grow wisteria over a arbour thingy. He saved the seed for her and she potted them up and brought us all one into work. Mine has been moved to its new home from the original pot and is still small but doing well. The groundsman said it will take some time to mature and flower but thats half of the challenge. The seeds were no problem to germinate and my friend confirmed that they came up quite quickly. Give it a go, nothing to lose but could gain lots of wisteria plants

I had a pod that had two seeds in it(they're a bit of a bugger to crack open)i cracked one of the seeds,hitting the pod with a hammer to open it in the end,but potted both up anyway.One is doing brilliantly and is about 4 inches high,the other is sprouting,but tiny(i tend to think this is the one i cracked.)....So apart from finding a better way to open the pod than with a hammer,they're really easy and straightforward to grow from seed
