Planting & Care

Sow lupine seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost or directly outdoors in early spring after the danger of frost has passed. Soak seeds in water for 24 hours before planting to help soften the seed coat and improve germination. Press seeds into the soil surface and cover lightly with about 1/8 inch of soil, as light aids germination. Keep the soil consistently moist and maintain a temperature of 65-70°F (18-21°C). Germination typically occurs in 14-30 days.

Once seedlings have developed several true leaves, transplant them outdoors after hardening off. Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil. Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a deep root system. Apply a layer of mulch to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage additional blooms and prevent self-seeding if desired. In hot climates, provide afternoon shade to protect plants from intense heat.
