Lupins

🗼 Majestic & Colourful

Lupins are celebrated for their dramatic, dense spikes of pea-like flowers that create a bold, vertical statement in the garden. With their unique, palm-shaped foliage and striking colour combinations, they are a must-have for adding architectural flair and a touch of wild, romantic beauty to borders and cottage-style plantings.

• Growing: Thrive in full sun to partial shade and prefer cool, moist, and well-draining acidic soil. They are perfect for cooler regions and appreciate protection from the intense heat of high summer.

• Sowing (Important Care): For best results, soak the seeds in water for 24 hours prior to sowing to soften the hard seed coat. Surface sow or lightly cover, as they need darkness to germinate effectively. It is critical not to let the seeds dry out—maintain consistent, steady moisture throughout the process. Keep the environment cool (15–18°C) to ensure success.

• Care: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry spells. Deadhead spent spikes promptly to encourage a second, albeit smaller, flush of blooms and to prevent the plant from wasting energy on seed production.

• Blooming: Offers a spectacular, vibrant display in late spring and early summer.
