When to Seed Lupine

Lupine should be direct seeded outdoors in fall, or stratified indoors and sown in trays for transplanting after all danger of frost has passed. 

Where to Plant Lupine

This plant will appreciate a spot with full sun. Loose, well-draining soil is ideal but this plant will tolerate an extremely wide range of growing conditions. This perennial bloom will flower in the second year and come back year after year. It will readily spread and reseed, so keep this in mind when choosing a location! Plants reach three to six feet tall. 

Growing Lupine

Sow seeds ½ inch deep and four to six inches apart. Once germinated, thin your seedlings to 18 to 24 inches. Once established, this plant is quite drought tolerant. 

Harvesting Lupine

Lupine can be harvested for cut flowers or left to mature in the garden to benefit the many pollinator species that are attracted to it.
