A long bloom time, beautiful palmate leaves, and butterfly attraction make Lupines a wonderful plant to add to your flower garden. Lupines hardiness range is from zone 3-7 (a few are annuals). They prefer full sun, but can do with part sun. They don't however like hot, dry areas. They like regular water in an area with good drainage. I have had trouble meeting these needs in the past as my property was a barren new build site just 12 years ago. Now soil has been amended, trees and shrubs have started to fill in and I think I now have a few places where these beautiful, butterfly attracting plants might do well. • The seed coat of Lupine is thick making them difficult to germinate. I am going to show you two methods that I am trying. The first is a common yet somewhat fiddly method of nicking the outer seed coat and soaking the seeds for twenty-four hours before planting. The second method is winter sowing to allow the seed to go through the natural freeze thaw cycles nature provides. • Non Woven Nursery Bag • US https://amzn.to/3qHUTFG • Canada https://amzn.to/3bZQB7M • Follow along as I attempt to get a beautiful show of Lupine flowers in my Zone 3 yard. • Music in this video: Light Expanse -by Unicorn Heads • As an amazon affiliate I earn from qualifying purchases.
