Lupine Care Tips Plant Size: 3-4 feet tall, 1-1.5 feet wide Sun Exposure: Full sun Soil Moisture: Moist, well-drained Soil pH : Acidic to neutral Bloom Time: Spring, summer Flower Color: white, pink, red, yellow, blue, purple Hardiness Zones: USDA 4-8 Toxicity: Toxic to humans and animals - don’t eat me! Native Area: North America - to support local biodiversity, be sure to search for native species to your area and seek out the straight species (not cultivars or hybrids) Growing lupines from seed: Lupines are an easy plant to grow from seed, but it can take up to two years to see your first bloom. Plant seeds in the fall or spring. Before planting, consider scarification (see below) to help with germination (though this is not crucial). Plant the seeds 1/4 inch deep in soil. Germination occurs in 14 to 30 days. Scarification techniques/options: -nick seeds with a small knife -soak in water over night -rub gently with sandpaper Did you know that lupines will hybridize between lupine varieties? This is important to know if you want to focus on native plants in your garden - be sure to clear out any non-native lupines to prevent your native species from hybridizing and throwing off the perfect balance of native varieties with the local ecosystem. Lupines have a long tap root. If your plant makes lots of babies / new seedlings (like mine is guaranteed to do), be sure to move the new plants early for best results. If you move a mature plant, you risk breaking the tap root and severely hurting your chances of a successful transplant.
