Cold stratification can improve germination; sow seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before last frost or directly outdoors in fall. Press seeds into moist, well-drained seed-starting mix and cover lightly. Keep at 65–70°F (18–21°C) and maintain consistent moisture until germination.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce seedlings have several true leaves, transplant to individual pots and harden off before planting outdoors after the danger of frost has passed. Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil. Water regularly during establishment, and mulch to conserve moisture. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continued flowering and prevent unwanted self-seeding.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e25 Manhattan Lights Lupine seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67824612245814,"sku":"FOLIA2-752","price":27.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7477041591_peq3.jpg?v=1793003639","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/25-manhattan-lights-lupine-seeds-bicolor-purple-yellow-lupinus-for-garden-planting","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
