Planting Instructions:

1. Soil Preparation: Choose a location with well-draining soil. Lupines prefer slightly acidic to neutral soil.
2. Sowing: Soak seeds in water for 24 hours before planting to improve germination. Sow seeds directly outdoors in early spring or fall. Plant seeds about 1/4 inch deep and cover lightly with soil.
3. Watering: Keep the soil moist until germination, which typically occurs in 14-28 days. Once established, Lupines are drought-tolerant.
4. Spacing: Thin seedlings to about 12-18 inches apart to allow for proper growth and air circulation.

Growing Tips:

• Light Requirements: Lupines thrive in full sun but can tolerate partial shade. Ensure they receive at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day.
• Watering: Water regularly during the growing season, but allow the soil to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot.
• Fertilization: Lupines generally do not require much fertilization. If necessary, use a balanced, all-purpose fertilizer sparingly.
• Deadheading: Remove spent flower spikes to encourage new growth and prolong the blooming period.
• Pest Control: Monitor for pests such as aphids and treat with insecticidal soap if necessary. Lupines can also be susceptible to powdery mildew; ensure good air circulation to minimize risk.
• Support: Taller varieties may need staking to support the flower spikes, especially in windy areas.

Special Notes:

• Lupines are nitrogen-fixing plants, which means they can improve soil quality by adding nitrogen back into the soil. This makes them excellent companion plants for other garden species.
• Lupines can be perennial or annual, depending on the variety and growing conditions. In favorable climates, they may reseed and return year after year.
