I've pulled some ripe pods off the wisteria. Any advice and tips please on
when and how to try planting them?
Variety Wisteria floribunda Pink ice.
The wisteria is all on its own, so the plant has self pollinated. Does
this mean the seeds will come true or is it pot luck what the plants will
be like?

Just sow and forget, they germinate best after a winters cold, you do need
rodent protection to stop them getting eaten.
It will be pot luck for colour and form, but my own plant is a seedling and
is a cracker, most wisteria are going to be good, the down side is waiting
for the first flowers, can be up to 25 years for W sinensis but the good
news for you is W Pink Ice is a floribunda cultivar and they flower a lot
quicker, my own plant took only 5 years to flower from seed.
Go for it
