Planting Instructions:
-
-
- Location:Plant lupines in a location with full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. Lupines prefer slightly acidic to neutral soil.
- Planting:Sow lupine seeds directly into the garden in fall or early spring. Alternatively, plant nursery-grown seedlings. Space plants about 12 to 18 inches apart.
- Care:Water newly planted lupines regularly until established. Once established, they are relatively low-maintenance and drought-tolerant. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continuous flowering and remove old foliage as needed to maintain plant health.
