Scarify seeds by nicking the hard coat or soaking in warm water for 24 hours to improve germination. Plant seeds 1\/4 inch deep in moist, well-drained soil. Keep evenly moist until germination, which typically occurs in 14-30 days. Thin seedlings to stand 12-18 inches apart. Water regularly during dry spells, but avoid overwatering. Mulch around plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued bloom and prevent self-seeding if desired.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e25 Blue Annual Lupine seeds (\u003cem\u003eLupinus angustifolius\u003c\/em\u003e).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67824631316790,"sku":"FOLIA2-806","price":27.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.6719443180_18f4.jpg?v=1793003749","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/25-blue-annual-lupine-seeds-lupinus-angustifolius-wildflower-for-pollinators","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
