Planting & Care

Sow lupine seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost or directly outdoors in early spring. Scarify seeds by nicking the hard coat or soaking in warm water for 24 hours to improve germination. Press seeds into moist, well-drained seed-starting mix and cover lightly with soil. Keep at 65-70°F (18-21°C); germination typically occurs in 14-30 days. Provide bright light and keep soil consistently moist but not soggy.

Transplant seedlings outdoors after the danger of frost has passed, spacing 12-18 inches apart. Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil. Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a deep root system. Mulch around plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage additional blooms and prevent self-seeding if desired. In hot climates, some afternoon shade is beneficial.
