Propagating wisteria from softwood cuttings is a relatively easy task, but requires patience as it can take between 5 to 20 years for the cuttings to flower. However, with proper care and maintenance, wisteria can become a reliable and beautiful climbing plant, adding vertical floral interest to any outdoor space. When taking wisteria cuttings, it’s important to choose softwood cuttings in mid-spring, when there is no longer a risk of frost and the plant is producing new, green growth. While established wisteria plants that have been grafted onto vigorous rootstock will flower much sooner, taking cuttings is still a rewarding experience for patient gardeners.
