A quick and easy video on deadheading lupines (lupins) in the garden.

See below for more lupine care info. • Want to attract more pollinators to your gardens like butterflies, hummingbirds, and native bees, watch this video for important tips and tricks: • 🦋 Help SAVE THE POLLINATORS with thes... • Thank you so much for taking the time to watch this video!

Happy gardening! • 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. • Other videos you might enjoy: • • How to Collect Butterfly Milkweed See... • • How to find monarch eggs + tips to su... • • How to Collect Butterfly Milkweed See... • Other deadheading videos that might be helpful to you: • • Deadheading Garden Plants • • Deadheading Daisies 🌼 for More Blooms... • • Deadheading Beebalm for a SECOND BLOO... • • Deadheading Geraniums for ALL SEASON ... • • How to Deadhead Lilacs to Get MORE BL... • • Allium: Pruning Deadheading | Attra... • 00:00 Intro • 00:04 Wear gloves • 00:13 When to deadhead • 00:26 Why deadhead • 00:34 Where to cut • 00:51 What to do with cut stems • 01:03 Why let some flowers go to seed • 01:09 Lupines are a short-lived perennial • 01:38 New lupine plants • #lupine #lupines #lupineflowers #lupineplant #lupineplantcare #deadheadinglupines #pruninglupines #pruninglupins #lupinecare #lupinetips #deadheadingflowers #thesuburbangardenista • This video is about: • how to deadhead lupines, how to deadhead lupins, how to deadhead, how to take care of lupines, how to take care of lupins, lupine care, how to deadhead flowers, lupin ,lupine, deadheading lupins, deadheading lupines, deadheading lupin flowers, deadheading lupine flowers, when to cut back lupins, how to cut back lupins, when to cut back lupines, how to cut back lupines, lupins, lupines, lupine flowers, lupin flowers, lupin care
