White Lupine Seeds - Lupinus polyphyllus Russell White 500mg Perennial Flower Seeds

White Lupine (Lupinus polyphyllus) 'Russell White' is a striking perennial known for its tall, elegant spires of pure white flowers. These pea-like blooms rise above palm-shaped foliage in late spring and early summer, creating a dramatic vertical accent in borders, cottage gardens, and meadow plantings. The Russell series is prized for its large, densely packed flower spikes and a wide range of colors, and this white variety adds a crisp, luminous touch to mixed plantings.

Lupines are classic cottage garden plants that attract pollinators and add structure to the landscape. They perform best in cool climates and well-drained soil, and they naturalize readily where conditions suit them. The 500 mg packet offers a generous amount of seed for starting your own white lupine patch.

Planting & Care

To improve germination, scarify the seeds by nicking the seed coat or rubbing with sandpaper, then cold stratify by refrigerating in a moist medium for 2-4 weeks before sowing. Sow seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost or directly outdoors in early spring. Press seeds into the soil surface and cover lightly, as light aids germination. Keep the soil consistently moist until seedlings emerge.

Transplant seedlings outdoors after the danger of frost has passed, spacing them 12-18 inches apart in a sunny location with well-drained soil. Water regularly during establishment. Lupines benefit from a layer of mulch to keep roots cool and moist. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage a second bloom and prevent unwanted self-seeding. In hot climates, provide afternoon shade to help plants thrive.
