| Hello, I got these wisteria seeds from a friend last year and I planted them, but she forgot to tell me what species of wisteria they were. They're supposed to be white flowering. Can somebody show me some pictures of the leaves of the most common species to help me identify the one I have?? |

| Perennialfan, Most wisteria leaves are identical. Every variety. Some wisteria vines grow differently, I think the japanese will twine clockwise, and the chinese counter clockwise. You will not really know until it flowers, which will probably be in 8-10 years. That is why most people don't grow them from seed. But, if you are a patient person, when it blooms, you will know better what variety you have. Personally, I would buy one that is already flowering at a nursery, they aren't expensive at all. |

| 8-10 years is a conservative estimate.....it can be as long as 20, but 10-15 years before flowering for seed grown wisteria is pretty common. It is quite easy to grow from seed......you just need to have a good deal of patience if the flowers are your primary objective :-) |
