«Red Double» - Organic Lupine Seeds

Perennial plant. A very attractive plant reaching a height of 45–50 cm. Hybrid varieties of this perennial are distinguished by compact growth and a wide range of flower colors. It grows best in light, fertile soils without lime content. Recommended for mixed plantings with other perennials or for planting in separate groups. It does not tolerate transplanting well. It is best to sow it directly in a permanent location or transplant with a soil ball.

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.
