Lupine Seeds - Wild Perennial Lupine Seeds
Lupinus perennis
A top choice for wildflower gardeners, Wild Perennial Lupine might get a slow start in life, often taking a full season to germinate and another to bloom, but once this beauty is established, there's no stopping it!!
*Seed scarification advised for lupine seeds (Nicking or scaring seeds with hard seed coatings before planting helps the seeds absorb water. After scarification soak seeds in water overnight before planting. This will jump-start germination and get your garden growing faster.)
Lupine (Lupinus Perennis) - Bring beauty and interest to a natural setting by sowing Lupine wild flower seeds. These flowers stand up in clusters of spikes with sweet pea-shaped blooms. While this flowering plant is highly prominent in North America, species of Lupine grow throughout the world on nearly every continent. Wild Lupine are deer resistant and quickly take root and do best in drier soils with high acidity, sand content and drainage. Perennial Lupine has beautiful violet to blue blooms throughout Spring and Summer that attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds with their nectar. Lupine is perfect for sowing in garden beds or at the front of a meadow.
A field of Lupine is an amazing sight, with spiky blooms of saturated indigo-blue that last from late spring to summer. Combine them with later-blooming flowers (like Shasta Daisy and Rudbeckia) for an extended season of color. Growing to be about 20-36” tall, Lupine is a great choice for the front of the meadow or garden bed. Extremely easy to grow and deer resistant, this perennial flower blooms year after year.
