Planting & Care

Sow seeds directly outdoors in fall or early spring, as lupines have a deep taproot and dislike transplanting. Scatter seeds on the soil surface and lightly cover with 1/8 inch of soil. Keep the area moist until germination, which typically occurs in 2-4 weeks at 65-70°F. Thin seedlings to stand 12-18 inches apart. Water regularly during dry spells, but avoid overwatering. Mulch to suppress weeds and retain moisture.
