About This Item
Lupinus polyphyllus, or simply Lupine, is a well-known and loved perennial. This variety, My Castle, adds a lovely scarlet to the flower bed. Lupines have very attractive, shrub-like deep green foliage and tall erect stems that tower above the foliage.
This red to scarlet lupine will grow up to 40 inches tall and as a perennial across the U.S. in cooler climates.
Lupine is an early summer bloomer and very attractive to butterflies and hummingbirds. Grow Lupines in a mass grouping for an amazing display of vivid color.
Sowing Rate: 2 - 3 seeds per plant. 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. 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.
