Lupine Mixed is a cool-season flowering plant known for its tall spires packed with pea-like blooms in purple, pink, red, white, and yellow. Its upright shape and deeply cut leaves bring a bold, textured look to winter gardens. Perfect for borders or large pots, lupines thrive in full sun and attract pollinators.

How to Grow Lupine from Seed

When to Sow: September to November

Where to Grow:

• Garden beds, borders, or large 12-inch containers
• Full sun or light afternoon shade

Steps:

1. Soak seeds 12–24 hrs or gently nick before sowing
2. Plant ¼ inch (6 mm) deep, 12–18 inches apart
3. Keep soil moist but not soggy during germination
4. Germinates in 2–4 weeks
5. Stake if spikes bend under their own weight

Fertilizer & Care

• Soil Prep: Mix Vermicompost before sowing
• Feeding: Garden-grown lupines usually need little extra feeding. For plants in containers, use Flower Fertilizer during active growth as needed, following its label.
• Pests: Spray Neem Oil only if needed
• Watering: Check the soil before watering. Keep young plants lightly moist while they establish, then water thoroughly when the upper soil begins to dry. Pots need checking more often than established garden plants; let excess water drain away.
