How to grow Lassicus Lupine seeds

Choose Your Planting Method

• Indoors: Start in deep pots in late winter after pre-treatment (see below).
• Outdoors: Sow in fall or early spring where winters are mild.

Prepare Your Materials

• Deep pots or a prepared bed (lupines form a long taproot)
• Well-draining potting mix or sandy garden soil
• Fine sandpaper or a small knife (for scarification)
• Spray bottle for misting

Sowing the Seeds

• Scarify the hard seed coat by nicking it or rubbing lightly with sandpaper, then soak in warm water for 24 hours.
• Give 1–3 months of cold-moist stratification (in a refrigerator) before spring sowing.
• Sow ¼ inch deep.

Provide the Right Conditions

• Light: Full sun.
• Temperature: 55–70°F (13–21°C).
• Humidity: Keep the soil evenly moist until germination.

Germination

• Typically 14–30 days after pre-treatment.
• Handle seedlings gently; lupines resent root disturbance.

Transplanting

• Transplant only while very young, or sow where the plants are to grow.
• Established plants do not move well because of their long taproot.
• Space 12–18 inches apart in well-drained soil.

Care Tips

• Sun: Full sun.
• Water: Keep soil evenly moist during establishment.
• Fertilizer: Generally not needed; lupines fix their own nitrogen.

Bloom Time:

Spring to summer.
