Organic Lupine «Chandelier»
Attract bees, butterflies and birds to your garden by sowing Lupine seeds. The Lupine Chandelier is a stately yellow that commands attention, and it loves to bloom!
The flowers are sweet pea shaped and form on tall spikes that bloom in late spring and early summer. The leaves are medium green, large, and they are divided into many finger-like leaflets.The plants make a wonderful cottage garden addition, and they are even more eye-catching when planted in large masses. They requiring good drainage but are not fussy about soil.
How to Grow
Lupines need neutral to slightly acidic soil, although they can grow in very acidic soil conditions. Lupines don’t need rich loam, but it’s important to grow the plants in very well-draining soil to avoid root rot. Sandy soil conditions and poor rocky soil promote the growth of the lupine’s deep tap root.
Starting lupines from seed is an economical way to get a showy flower garden the following season. The seed coat is tough, and seeds have a better germination rate if you nick the seed coat or soak them in water overnight. Plant them about ¼ inch deep outdoors in a permanent area that receives full sun, as they do not transplant well.
Expect germination in 14-30 days.
