Scarify seeds by nicking the seed coat or soaking in warm water for 24 hours before planting to improve germination. Press seeds into the soil surface and cover lightly, as light aids germination. Keep soil consistently moist until seedlings emerge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce seedlings have several true leaves, transplant to the garden in a sunny location with well-drained soil. Water regularly during establishment. Lupines benefit from a layer of mulch to keep roots cool and moist. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage additional blooms and prevent self-seeding if desired. In hot climates, provide afternoon shade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e25 Avalune Mix Lupine seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67824632725814,"sku":"FOLIA2-808","price":27.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.6767461211_g8h9.jpg?v=1793003749","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/25-avalune-mix-lupine-seeds-bicolor-wildflower-for-pollinator-gardens","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
