HOW TO GROW
Sowing: To soften the hard coating on these Lupinus Perennis seeds, rub them lightly with sandpaper or soak them in 180 degrees F water overnight before sowing. Sow wild lupine seeds in early spring, planting 1/2" deep. Keep the soil lightly moist until germination.
Growing: These seedlings grow very slowly and are rather fragile. Water them occasionally and protect from freezing temperatures. Though mature plants tolerate drought conditions well, provide water occasionally in very dry weather. This plant can be poisonous to livestock if present in excessive amounts. These plants resent having their roots disturbed.
Harvesting: For cut flowers, choose stems with flowers that have just opened. Strip the foliage that will fall below the water level, and place in water immediately.
Seed Saving: As the seed pods develop, watch them carefully. As soon as they ripen fully they will split and drop their seed. When the pods begin to turn brown, remove them and spread them out to dry. Remove the seed from the pods and store it in a cool, dry place. Keep in mind that these Lupinus Perennis seeds are highly poisonous.
