Germination:
14-21 days
Transplant: Sow 4–8 weeks before planting. Seedlings tolerate light frost. Use deep-cell trays (50-cell Deep or 32-cell) for strong taproots; shallower trays are okay if transplanted promptly. Thin to one per cell at first true leaves, then harden off and transplant.
Direct seed: Cover ¼" with soil or media—darkness aids germination.
No pinching necessary.
Growing Conditions:
Grows best in full sun to part shade.
Spacing:
Plant starts 18-24 inches apart.
Note: For healthy plants and vibrant blooms, Lupines need room to stretch their roots — crowded conditions result in poor growth and performance.
