GERMINATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Presoak seeds for 12 hours and plant immediately. Choose your site. Lupine likes full sun to partial shade, and will tolerate dry or moist sites, although the soil should have good drainage. Lupine prefers poor quality or sandy soil, and it is a good flower to plant in that troublesome corner of your garden where nothing else will grow.
2. Best time for sowing inside or outside - from April to June.
3. To plant lupine in the fall, prepare the bed by removing any weeds and loosening the soil with a metal garden rake. Bury the seeds under 1/4 to 1/8 of an inch of soil, and water thoroughly. The lupine will sprout the following spring.
4. To plant lupine in the spring, you will need to simulate winter, so wrap the lupine seeds in a damp paper towel and store them in a loosely closed plastic bag in the refrigerator for seven to ten days. Prepare the bed and sow the lupine seeds in your garden in the early spring, after the danger of frost has passed. The seeds will germinate in about a week.
