    Hi Enez image

    The simplest way, if your wisteria has some long stems that will reach the ground, is to take some layered cuttings.

    Otherwise you can take soft stem cuttings in the summer and hardwood cuttings in the winter.

    If you click on this link https://www.rhs.org.uk/advice/profile?PID=173 and scroll down to Propagation, you'll find descriptions and links that take you to more detailled instructions.

    I hope that helps.  Good luck,  let us know how you get on image

    a word of caution. Cuttings and seeds of wisteria can take many years to flower unless you can propagate from "previously flowering wood"

    This is whey they're usually grafted when you buy them, which makes them pricey too.
