The Governor Lupine Seeds - 25 Deep Blue and White Spiked Blooms (Lupinus)

The Governor Lupine is a striking herbaceous perennial prized for its tall, densely packed flower spikes that blend deep blue with crisp white accents. Each bloom spike rises above palm-shaped foliage, creating a bold vertical statement in borders, cottage gardens, and meadow plantings. These bi-colored flowers attract pollinators and add classic cottage-garden charm to any landscape.

Lupines are well suited to cool-season gardens and perform best where summers are moderate. Their upright, spiky form works beautifully in the middle or back of a flower bed, along fences, or in mass plantings for a dramatic sweep of color. The Governor is a dependable choice for gardeners seeking reliable color and texture.

Planting & Care

Sow lupine seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the last frost, or direct sow outdoors in early spring after danger of frost has passed. Scarify seeds by nicking the hard coat or soaking in warm water for 24 hours before planting to improve germination. Press seeds into moist, well-drained seed-starting mix and cover lightly, as light aids germination. Keep the medium consistently moist but not waterlogged.

Once seedlings have several true leaves, transplant them into the garden after hardening off. Space plants 12 to 18 inches apart in full sun to partial shade. Water regularly during establishment, then reduce frequency as plants mature. Mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continued flowering and prevent unwanted self-seeding.
