• How to Germinate Lupin Seeds

Of course, when we see a flower we like, we need to have it in our spaces; and what better way to add flowers to home gardens than to grow them from scratch?

1. Pick a location to start your seeds

You can start your Lupin flower seeds either indoors or outdoors. So, pick a spot and soil accordingly. Let's break it down according to locations:
Indoors: Use a seedling tray and coco peat to germinate your seeds
Outdoors: Use a well-draining potting mix and sow the seeds about 1/4 to 1/2 inches deep
2. A Sunny Spot Bodes Well
Your Lupins seeds need at least 6-8 hours of sunlight in a day. While they thrive with proper sunlight, they do not appreciate the harsh afternoon sun.
So, whichever spot you pick must give your seeds light shade during afternoons.
3. Balanced Watering is Key
All seeds need just enough water to germinate. However, too much of anything is suffocating. So, strike the right balance and give your seeds consistent moisture, without ever overwatering them.
4. Post-Germination Transplanting

You've nailed the light and watering requirements for these seeds. So, what's next?
Your Lupins seeds will take at least 14-30 days to germinate and once they do, you will breathe a sigh of relief like never before (believe us, we know)! Once these seeds germinate and develop at least 2 true leaves, it's time to transplant (that is, if you've started your seeds indoors).
Transplant the seedlings outdoors into well-draining and aerated soil to ensure proper breathability.
Once your seedlings grow more, caring for them can look slightly different, and here's how!
• Caring for Lupin Seeds After Flowering: How Can You Show Up For Your Plants?
As mentioned before, these flowering plants are delightfully low maintenance once established and essentially, once your seeds have germinated, a lot of the hard part is over.
Just remember, with any and every part, consistency is key. Consistent care = stunning growth!
So, for the easy part, here are some care tips to ensure that you remain a good parent to your Lupines flowering plant:
1. Continuing the Balanced Watering
Even with mature Lupins plants, it is essential that you keep their soil moist at all times. However, remember to avoid making the soil too soggy because that will do more harm than good.

Lupines hate wet feet!
Here is a short watering guide for Lupine flowering plants:
Watering Seasonally |
These plants will need more watering in the spring and summer times. However, they will need relatively less watering during their dormant season; i.e. during winter and fall months. |
Weekly Watering |
Ideally, when still in the process of being established plants, Lupine flowers need plenty of water. Water them weekly if the weather isn't too hot and twice a week if your area is going through a dry spell. |
2. Give Them The Spotlight with Enough Sunlight
Lupines are well-known sun lovers and love to soak up all the light they can get.

So, plant them in a spot where they can bask in the sunlight for at least 6-8 hours every day. Yes, they can survive in partial shade but their blooms won't be as vibrant.
3. Fertilization: Keeping Your Lupine Flowers Well-Fed
Always remember to use a fertilizer designed for flowering plants. These must be low in nitrogen because excessive nitrogen can cause more leaf development, all at the expense of flowering.
When planting lupine seeds in pots, use Ugaoo's Plant Food Bloom Sticks to ensure proper fertilization and blooming.
However, when grown directly in the soil, use Epsom Salt for optimal results!
Fertilize only during the growing seasons and leave your plants alone when they're dormant!
4. Mulching Around the Plants

Apply a thin layer of organic mulch, such as straw or bark, around the base of the plants to suppress weeds.
Why? Mulch helps maintain consistent soil moisture and keeps the roots cool. Cooler spaces, happier Lupines!
5. Deadheading the Blooms (sounds brutal but you need it)
Deadheading any flowering plants is key because it ensures that spent blooms are removed and newer blooms have space to grow in.
So, deadhead your Lupine flower plants and ensure that you provide a clean and hospitable environment for any new flowers!
Show them love and Lupines will show you marvelous blooms like you never even expected. With the right care, these flowers will keep gracing your gardens for at least 2-5 years.
So, grow with confidence and reap the benefits of a stunning ornamental plant! Happy gardening, fellow gardener!
