About This Item
This variety, The Governor, adds a lovely marine blue to the flower bed. Lupines have a somewhat shrub-like deep green foliage. The Governor has tall erect stems that tower above the foliage. The blooms are blue and white and make a stately presence.
The blue lupine is a 40 inch tall perennial growing in USDA zones 4 - 8.
Lupine is an early summer bloomer. Many gardeners recommend soaking the seed in water for 24 hours before planting to soften the seed coat. Start the seeds indoors 6 – 8 weeks before the end of frost season.
Sowing Rate: 2 - 3 seeds per plant. Press the seed into the soil and very lightly cover with soil. Keep the seed moist continuously. With a temperature of 68F, germination is usually within 14 days. Transplant outdoors after danger of frost has passed.
Space the plants 18 - 24 inches apart. For areas with a long growing season, the seed can be started directly outdoors in a prepared seedbed after danger of frost as passed. Grow in full sun to partial shade and in well-drained soil. Deer typically avoid eating lupine plants.
