How To Grow
GROWER TIP: Lupine can benefit from stratification by placing the seed in a damp paper towel inside the fridge for 4 weeks. In short season areas, sow indoors 6 to 8 weeks prior to the last frost. Direct sow or transplant when temperatures are over 65F. When established, make sure to water heavily as they can easily wilt in the heat.
