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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e25 Lupinus 'Cashmere Cream' seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67795502006582,"sku":"FOLIA2-054","price":27.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.6719518948_k2kb.jpg?v=1792670652","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/25-lupinus-cashmere-cream-lupine-seeds-creamy-white-blooms-for-gardens-pollinators","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
