Cuttage: hardwood cuttings are generally used. 1-2-year-old sturdy branches are selected before sprouting in mid-late March, cut into cuttings about 15 cm long, and inserted into a pre-prepared seedbed with a cutting depth of 2 / 3 of the length of cuttings. Spray water after insertion, strengthen maintenance, keep the seedbed moist, the survival rate is very high, the plant height can reach 20-50 cm in that year, and can come out of the nursery two years later.

2. Sowing: wisteria is sown and propagated in March, seeds are harvested in November, pods are removed, dried and bagged for storage. Soak the seeds in hot water before sowing.
