«Perennial Double Mix» - Organic Lupine Seeds

A light-loving, cold-hardy, and undemanding perennial plant. Like all legumes, it enriches the soil with nitrogen. It is used for decorating colorful flower beds, borders (rabatki), and for cut flower arrangements. Plant height ranges from 70 to 100 cm. The flowers are collected in dense, multi-flowered racemes, with a wide variety of colors. The most decorative forms are the Russell hybrids.

For seedlings, lupine is sown in March, while in open ground seeds are sown in April.

Lupine grows best in a sunny or slightly shaded garden location. The plant is undemanding in terms of soil composition and performs well in moderately fertile or poor sandy soils with slightly acidic to acidic pH. However, lupine does not tolerate waterlogging and grows poorly in alkaline soils.

Sowing depth: seeds are planted at a depth of up to 2 cm and covered with peat; planting scheme – 30 × 50 cm.

Lupine is a drought-tolerant crop, so moderate watering is sufficient. In spring, it should be watered more frequently to stimulate the formation of more flower stalks, but water stagnation must be avoided. Agricultural care includes weeding and loosening the soil. Weeds around the plants should be removed regularly.

In the second year of growth, the plant should be fertilized with a mineral fertilizer mix. It can grow in one place for up to 6 years, after which it should be relocated to a new site.
