These majestic spikes of showy blooms make a bold statement in the landscape - especially in drifts. Cut flowers are long lasting in fresh bouquets.

Culture: Does best in light, well-drained soil. Allow soil to dry between thorough watering. Remove faded blooms or it will self-seed. In the legume family but harmful if eaten.

As a biennial, the plant will produce foliage and store energy the first year. It will then bloom magnificently the second year, seed, and then die. Late bloomers can be real long lasting beauties (like foxgloves).

It has been advise that to germinate lupine, soak the seeds in room temperature water over night to soften the seed hull.

For lupines, keep the seedlings in a shady area with moist soil until large enough to transplant. Then transplant them into a sunny permanent area.

If you collect the ripe seeds after it has bloom, you can start the plants right away for blooms next spring or let nature take its course.
