QUESTION: Hey Tom, sorry about that, they're wisteria deeds. Hope you can help

Answer
Hi Sharon,
Thanx for the additional information.  Wisteria is a member of the pea family and its seeds germinate readily in temps of 70癋-75癋 in 10-20 days.  Just plant them 1/4 inch deep and keep moist but not soggy.  You can transplant the seedlings once they are large enough to handle and plant them in full sun after the last frost.  The issue with planting wisteria from seed is that it will take about 15 years for the plant to bloom from seed.  Most people will take cuttings or buy a young plant that has been grafted which will result in blooming sooner.  The grafted ones can bloom in as little as 2-3 years.  I hope this helps.
Tom
