Scarify seeds by nicking the hard outer coat with a file or sandpaper, then soak in water for 24 hours before planting. Press seeds into the soil surface and cover lightly with 1\/8 inch of soil, as light aids germination. Keep soil moist at around 65-70°F (18-21°C); germination typically occurs in 14-30 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce seedlings have several true leaves, transplant outdoors after hardening off. Space plants 12-18 inches apart in a sunny location with well-drained soil. Water regularly during dry spells, but avoid overwatering. Mulch around plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage additional blooms and prevent unwanted self-seeding. In colder zones, provide winter protection with a layer of mulch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e25 Persian Slipper Lupine seeds (Lupinus) for planting.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67776111608118,"sku":"FOLIA-094","price":27.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7477198117_k81d.jpg?v=1792467717","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/25-persian-slipper-lupine-seeds-purple-lupinus-for-spring-garden-blooms","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
