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.

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

I recieved the seeds quickly. I tested three of them to check the germination rate and two of the three germinated in a plastic bag with a damp paper towel beneath them in about three days. I am very excited to watch them grow in the pots I made and transplanted them into. The other two seeds are now in a plastic bag and hopefully I will see results very soon.

-I got what I wanted.

-The seller is good at communicating with you in the event that issues do arise.

-I am Happy.

I'm gonna be honest this is my first time I buy seeds at all so I decide to buy from 2 different sites here and E....
despite the ramdom rating I decided to try my luck.
First of all, all seeds were perfectly in excellent conditions, can't say the same thing from the other marketplace or seller :S.
this seller gave me 24 seeds instead of 20, can't say he'll do the same to you but the extra amount was very surprising (Thanks).
and if that wasn't enough he also send me another weird seed called Dracaena or dragon tree (beautiful when matures)(now that i think of it maybe was because I both the bamboo-leaf seeds also).

I divided the seeds in 3 separate groups 10/10/4 I'm gonna use pure water(example distilled ) on one group on the other ill use hormones and on the last group I gave them to my father. I will update this review when I see them germinate or in max 2 or 3 months if nothing happens today is 06/03/2011
I almost forgot to tell you guys I received the package on time the first day of its arrival period, also had and excellent communication with the seller about a question I had, he respond me the next day.

So lets say I'm not only satisfy but Happy with my first buy.
